Bookroo's summary
Minerva Louise, a curious hen, spots a mysterious figure in a red suit on the roof. Intrigued, she follows him down the chimney, discovering a world of festive surprises inside.

Join Minerva on her whimsical journey filled with wonder and unexpected discoveries.
From the publisher
What is that fat guy in the red suit doing on the roof? wonders Minerva Louise one snowy evening. She follows him down the chimney and, to her surprise, sees a big tree “inside.” The harebrained hen can’t make any sense of it, but young children will cackle with delight as they follow Minerva around on her Christmas Eve adventure with the jolly fat fellow. She even gets a present!
