Nobody Notices Minerva

by Wednesday Kirwan

Minerva is being a very naughty girl today. But no one seems to notice--or care--when she pulls out the stuffing from Dad's favorite chair, peels off the wallpaper, knocks over the milk, and pokes her brother. And not only is everyone ignoring her, but being bad doesn't even make her feel good Is there a better way to get a little attention? A story kids will really relate to (complete with a sly ending) and adorable art--featuring a cute Boston terrier...

Customer Reviews

Great Illustrations/ Good Message

We also saw the author read this book. My 3 and 5 year old love it. Minerva does naughty things to get attention. When it does not work, she cries. Her Dad reminds her it is better to get noticed for doing good things. A good message taught in a sensitive and realistic style. Great artwork.

Beautiful and Charming.

Kids and adults will love this simply charming little book. A great story, fun illustrations, and a good read for kids. I've bought several as gifts, and came back today to order a few more for Christmas. If you have little kids or know someone with little kids, or you're just a little kid at heart, get this book. Along with Alexandra Day's "Carl" books, I keep a copy of this at home for little visitors.

I Do Notice Minerva and I LOVE her!

After perusing what the store had to offer, I settled on Nobody Notices Minerva. The story is SO cute. It really mirrors how little kids feel. "Everybody else gets all the attention," is a sentiment many little ones have. Well, Minerva finds out what really is true. My nephew (who is now a month away from 2 years) repeatedly says, "Read Minewva." This book is very sweet and the illustrations are outstanding.

Peppy's favorite

This delightful book has darling illustrations and a sure-to-please story line, particularly for mischevious Boston Terriers everywhere.

Beautiful Images and Great Story

This book is sure to please kids and adults with its thoughtful story and well-drawn/painted imagery. It's the kind of book I would read over and over again as a kid.
