Cute

Minerva Louise on Christmas Eveby Janet Morgan Stoeke
So funny!
Minerva Louise is the Amelia Bedelia of the younger set and her antics
are delightful in this darling book where our fave chicken faces off
against the Man in Red.For example, Minerva Louise thinks that Christmas lights are fireflies dressed up for a party, and that Santa is a farmer with fancy goats.
Recommend this one.
