"Guess how much I love you," says Little Nutbrown Hare. Little Nutbrown Hare shows his daddy how much he loves him: as wide as he can reach and as far as he can hop.

Well then Little Nutbrown Hare loves him right up to the moon, but that's just halfway to Big Nutbrown Hare's love for him.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for desperate moms like me!, July 25, 2006

This review is from: Guess How Much I Love You (Arabic/English) (Hardcover)

This book is good,but just cause I am so desperate for good Arabic books to read to my daughter. I thought that the story was cute, but not too much. I didn't like the idea that the Arabic part of the story seems to be secondary since the book starts from left to right (wouldn't want to teach my kid that it's ok to read Arabic the wrong way). The Arabic is classical Arabic, so one can't really go wrong there (but my 2 year old daughter lost interest quickly since she found the Clasical tone odd). She loved the rabbit though and kept telling me about them.

So it is a good book considering the availability of simple books in Arabic for young children.

This story is so sweet that you could read it everynight and never tire from it. It is about a parents love for their child that is so great that it can reach as far as the moon, and back. We have read it so often, I need a replacement!
Also, a very sweet baby present!

This review is from: Guess How Much I Love You (Hardcover)

I love this book and accompanying DVD. It's a tender story to share with your child either by reading the book or watching the DVD together. I especially like the DVD because it's not highly animated. It's like a moving watercolor. When your day feels overwhelming this book will bring you back to a place of peace.
