Synopsis
A curious hen mistakes the town fair for a rather remarkable farm where horses go up and down and stars fall from the sky, and when she's tired of exploring, she settles down in the judging tent just when the ribbons are being given out.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3-Minerva Louise is back. This time, the happy, self-satisfied hen meanders over to the fairgrounds and misinterprets everything she encounters based on her experience on the farm. She sees stars falling all around (fireworks); steps into a moving bulldozer (Ferris wheel); sees dozens of other hens (trick mirrors); mistakes the merry-go-round for a horse barn; and finally roosts for the night in one of the boxes built for the rabbit judging. The next day she is discovered by her very own farmer, who takes her home to a hero's welcome. The artwork is outstanding. With a triangle for a beak and two dots for eyes, Minerva Louise has an amazing variety of expressions as she walks along peering here and there or sits plump and happy with herself or enjoys the wind while in the back of the moving truck on the ride home. With one or two lines accompanying a bright, full-page picture, this is a perfect choice to share with a group. Anyone who has ever made an error in perception will appreciate Minerva Louise's logic as she figures everything out entirely wrong. And everyone will cheer as things turn out perfectly all right. This hen deserves a blue ribbon.
