Synopsis

Herman has made plans to visit his aunt Gert, so he sets out in his fur coat for her house. But on his way, a passing bear mistakes Herman for the Bear family’s cousin Julius. The bear invites Herman home for a visit, and all the bears think Herman is Cousin Julius! Can Herman convince the Bear family that he is definitely not their cousin and most definitely not a bear? Bernice Myers’s classic picture book, first published in 1967, is a timeless treasure that will have young children giggling. An introduction, discussion questions and activities, and further suggested reading from noted librarian Nancy Pearl are included.
