Houghton Mifflin Company. Louise perches on a fence and smiles at what she sees. It's a baby carriage. But Minerva Louise is just a chicken and she gets things wrong. This old joke still works.
Young children are always delighted when someone knows less than they do.
One funny misunderstanding leads to another. Exploring the house, Minerva Louise notices more new things. There's a crib she is sure is a rabbit hutch, a child gate she thinks is a fence. Triumphantly she concludes that there is a ''new bunny'' in the house. She can hardly wait to see him.
