A cheerful introduction to the friendly chicken, Minerva Louise!

Minerva Louise loves the farmhouse with the red curtains, and one day she decides to explore it from the inside. Children will laugh at her silly antics and love pointing out her mistakes. Stoeke's bright, streamlined art and offbeat text have put the daffy Minerva Louise on the map - and won her a place in children's hearts.

Janet Morgan Stoeke is the creator of the hen Minerva Louise, who has appeared in many books. She lives in Alexandria, Virginia.
