Brief Description
All
children want reassurance that their parents' love runs wide and deep.
In Guess How Much I Love You, a young rabbit named Little Nutbrown Hare
thinks he's found a way to measure the boundaries of love. In a
heartwarming twist on the "I-can-do-anything-you-can-do-better" theme,
Little Nutbrown Hare goes through a series of declarations regarding the
breadth of his love for Big Nutbrown Hare. But even when his feelings
stretch as long as his arms, or as high as his hops, Little Nutbrown
Hare is fondly one-upped by the elder rabbit's more expansive love.
Anita Jeram's illustrations are bound to elicit an "aw" from even the
sternest of readers; these loving rabbits are expressive, endearing, and
never cloying. In turn, Sam McBratney tells a simple bedtime story of
sweet familial love with humor, insight, and a delightful surprise at
the end. Children and parents will love snuggling up for this one--a
treat to be read again and again, just before the lights are turned out.
