Product Description
The tender contest between Little Nutbrown Hare and his daddy, Big Nutbrown Hare, to see who loves each other more leads them hopping to the moon and beyond, as captured by delicate, endearing watercolors. Hardcover.
Amazon.com 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. 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.

Prepare for tears December 30, 2008
This book made me cry -- a grown man! I read it to my 3-year-old son, and felt myself tearing up as I got to the end. The artwork is first rate, too.
 Nice book to have in your childs library. December 29, 2008
This a cute story but by no means up there with Goodnight Moon or I'll love you forever, the Napping House books. Do read this beforhand to make your own judgement. I do enjoy my sons first books to be the board book style so that i like, but the choppy dialougue is distracting for a tot. My son does prefer books with rythem (sp?).
Great book! Sweet, loving, and beautifully illustrated December 27, 2008
I think this is a lovely book, with a simple, sweet story line, pretty pictures, and, best of all, a real way to connect with your child. Some of the reviewers seemed offended because they felt that the 'game' the father and son are playing in the book (seeing which one can express his love for the other best) is competive and somehow wrong. Everyone is entitled to opinion. Personally, I remember my little brother playing this game with my mother, and he loved it. It was a confirmation that Mother loved him, not a challenge from him or a sign of aggressive behavior. As children, we love to be told we are loved, and, what's more, we love to express affection, which is what this book is about.
That being said, I'm not going to say this will be your or your child's favorite book. For example, my younger brother loved this book, but my little sister never showed interest. My daughter is currently too young to understand it (she's not yet four months old), so I don't know about her yet...but I do know that I think the reviewers who were negetive about it were interpreting it incorrectly or simply forgot that every child is unique. Every child, as every parent, is different, and different books appeal to different people. But I do believe you will enjoy it, at the very least, and that your little one will probably too...go ahead an buy it! I think you'll be glad you did!
Touching and just plain sweet December 9, 2008
My 1st son is well beyond the age of getting bedtime stories from Mom, but I was reading this to his little brother the other night and I glanced up and saw him sitting on the floor in the hallway listening.
Later he told me it had been his favorite story when he was little because the end where Big Nutbrown Hare tells him she loves him to "the moon and back" always made me get teary. Thats the kind of book this is, a sweet enduring tale of the all encompassing love a child and parent have for each other.
This book is the most touching testament to this devotion I have ever read..and it STILL makes me tear up at the end.
