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.
