PS
Minerva Louise, that wide-eyed ingenue of a chicken, here goes for a ride in the farmer's red truck. As in previous books, she fits everything she sees into her own limited experience, so a church with a steeple is a "silly barn wearing a hat" and a construction site is a truck farm/playground. The brief text and vibrant, well-composed illustrations are once again ideal for the intended audience.
