Customer Reviews

a resourceful, independent hen

The story of a resourceful, independent, persistent hen, told with a sense of humor. Nice short book with good illustrations. A perfect story to read on a snowy day. My 2.5 y.o loves to hear it again and again.

A Hat for Minerva Louise

This book serves two purposes. Young children love to have it read to them. Older children like the humor of Minerva Louise's judgement errors. It's a very enjoyable book, ages 2 to 10.

What a cute story! My Kdg students loved it!

I read this to my Kdg students. They noticed there weren't any quotaions marks in the text..yea for them! They wondered why and would like to write to the author! help!! what a great language activity!

Fall in love with a hen

Such a simple little story with a winsome little heroine. After meeting her in a bookstore I fell hopelessly in love. I will admit that visually she struck me to the heart and of course there is her name. My granddaughter reads about her adventures every night and she understands that even though she gets to hear the stories the books are still Grandma's. If she is properly respectful of Minerva Louise I will pass her along one day. Not yet. This charming little hen must stay with me for a while
