Guess How Much I Love You :: Education by Design Store

Editorial Review
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.

Love this book!

This is a sweet little story about a little nut brown hare and a big nut brown hare. It is a story my child and I both enjoy. It is the whole book in it's entirety, not just a shortened version of the hardback as many boardbooks can be. My child loves when I substitute our names for the word 'hare'.

Best Book for little ones

I love, love, LOVE this book. I had it when my older kids were babies and now my youngest loves it just as much. We even did his nursery in this theme!! The back and forth about love between a parent and child is heartwarming. The illustrations are beautifully done. This is a must have for any little one!!!

How can anyone not LOVE this book

I have been reading this incredibly touching story to my daughter over the last three years which brings tears to our eyes by the time we reach the end; not because it is sad, but because it is such an emotional expression of love between a father and his child.

This is one of those children's books you keep and look forward to reading to your grandchildren one day.

Sweetness and delight

Such a sweet children's book! A friend gave it to me and now I'm hooked and buying it as a present for everyone else. This book is just sweetness, a really cute story that every parent will associate with.

Review by Sherry North, Author, Because You Are My Baby

There are many wonderful books that show a mother's love for her child. This one is special because it features "Big Nutbrown Hare" who the child can view as a mother or father. (The text refers to him as a "he" making this book an especially good fit for dads.) Both the writing and illustrations are charming, and the lovely twist ending makes for a perfect bedtime story.

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. (Click to see a sample spread. Text © 1994 by Sam McBratney.

Perfect gift for babies! 2008-02-24

Another great book for your pre-school child or grandchild. Promotes concepts that they may already identify with such as big and small. Puts into words the concepts they may already have about the love they're constantly surrounded by. I heartily recommend it.

wonderful for babies 2008-01-16
This is my second favorite children's book to Goodnight Moon. It's so sweet, the illustrations are beautiful, and it's not too wordy so your baby can enjoy it without getting too distracted/bored. I love telling my baby it's closing line, "I love you to the moon and back."

A classic sweet story 2008-01-13
My kids loved this board book. The names (Little Nutbrown Hare, Big Nutbrown Hare) are a mouthful to say over and over, but the little ones love hearing the story.
