Herman’S Tales

By Carole Hinkleman, Nan Rebik and Heather Blackwood

Hermans Tales is the fifth book in a series about Herman the mouse and his family. In Herman and the Calf the mice celebrate the birth of a new calf down on the donkey farm. In Hermans Valentine, Harry, his son, finds a way to celebrate with the new girl in the mouse school. Then Herman and his family discover a cherry tree with lots of ripe cherries. Somehow the mice must find a way to get the cherries home. Finally Hermans Boating Adventure gets pretty scary when they lose their paddles in the middle of the pond.

NAN REBIK Happily retired, Nan and her dog Dobro live in the Southern California desert close to the Mexican Border. To escape the summer heat, she and Dobro spend as much time as possible in the Laguna Mountains. Herman and his extended family live nearby providing regular inspiration for the Herman stories. When she is not up in the mountains, Nan teaches piano and mountain dulcimer and performs regularly with the Jugless Jug Band. You may reach Nan at [e-mail]. CAROLE HINKELMAN Carole has retired from a career as an educator in the New York City school system. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, but enjoys travel vacations all over the world. She has dedicated her life to introducing children to the joys of reading and hopes Hermans Tales will open the doors to a lifelong appreciation of literature. Co-authoring the Herman books has been the fulfillment of one of the important wishes on her bucket list.
