Amazon.com Review

In this irresistible gift package, the board-book edition of Sam McBratney and illustrator Anita Jeram's award-winning favorite Guess How Much I Love You is paired with the fairest of hares--a nine-inch, very soft, very friendly young fellow indeed. 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. Sam McBratney tells a simple bedtime story of sweet familial love with humor, insight, and a delightful surprise at the end, and Jeram's expressive bunny illustrations could not be cuter. Children and parents will love snuggling up with this book and bunny, just before the lights are turned out. (Baby to Preschool)

I bought this book for my baby girl along with the two Hares. It is now her prized possesion and always gets read at bedtime. In my opinion this tale is classic and is a must for anyone with a soft spot in their heart for a little Nutbrown hare.

I bought this book for my 29 year old boyfriend who is not the "sensitive type". I thought he was going to cry also... This book expresses the way I feel better than any words I could use. After my sister read it, she bought two more, one for her 6 year old daughter and one for our mother.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for baby!, June 9, 2000

This review is from: Guess How Much I Love You: Book and Little Nutbrown Hare (Board book)

Here's one of the few books about a father and child. Heartwarming doesn't begin to describe the book--it brings tears to my eyes each time I read it. The stuffed toy is the perfect size for a baby as young as 2-3 months to grip: the arms, legs or ears! I had my son's 3 month photo taken with it because it always made him smile!
