Minerva Louise, a rather simple but curious hen, wanders away from the farm and explores a school. The text provides Minerva Louise’s understanding of what she sees – she views the school as the barn and a wastepaper basket as a feed bucket – while readers see the real thing from the cleanly crafted and crisply colored illustrations. Words and pictures capture a broad, child-like humor. Other Minerva Louise adventures include A Hat for Minerva Louise (1994) and Hide and Seek (1999)
