This popular character is back, sharing all her favorite things about Halloween, from the slightly skewed perspective of a farmyard hen.  The bright, simple illustrations are full of scenes that will be familiar to young children, but the text is full of Minerva Louise’s silly mistaken understandings of what she sees around her:  she thinks the children setting out tombstone decorations are planting a rock garden, the trick-or-treaters are farmers bringing feed-buckets to the house, and the children bobbing for apples have been working so hard they’re drinking down the water bucket.  Young children will laugh and delight in showing off their superior understanding as they correct Minerva Louise and explain what is really going on.
