"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. But Big Nutbrown Hare, who can reach farther and hop higher, loves him back just as much. 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.
Little Nutbrown Hare wants very much to impress Big Nutbrown Hare with the enormous scale of his devotion, but ends up being the one who's impressed. Subtitled "a pop-up edition," this sturdy square edition of Sam McBratney's ever-popular Guess How Much I Love You is probably better described as a "slide-along edition." Some pages do include pop-ups, but they aren't the best ones; instead, most involve pull-tabs which animate the two rabbits and their surroundings. One of the most appealing scenes simply shows Little Nutbrown Hare hopping up and down. In a purely technical sense this exercise in interactive cardboard technology is well behind some of the competition, but the tale has a timeless charm and the very simplicity of the movements makes it easy for small fingers to waggle the tabs and take control of the story. (Ages 2 to 4) --Richard Farr

This book is very cute. The baby hare comes up with all kinds of ways of expressing his love for his mother. He's very creative. And, his mom always has an answer that "one-ups" the baby. That part is also cute. But, I feel like it should end one page early - the baby hare is trying so hard, does mom hare really have to one-up him after he falls asleep?! Sure, no child loves their parent the same way a parent loves their child, but who loves the other one more?? I don't think it's fair to say it's always the parent. I would like this story much better if it ended one page earlier at a draw. That is why I glued the last page to the back cover!
The illustrations are simple and in low contrast colors. I think that's why my 10 month old isn't very interested in it - he loves his high contrast pictures! Perhaps older children would appreciate the drawings better.

I think this is an adorable story and thought my son / husband would enjoy reading it together. My son never picks it out and won't sit still for it.

Little Nutbrown Hare (why couldn't he/she have a NAME?!?!?) LOVES Big Nutbrown Hare. Okay. BNH loves LHN MORE! No matter what LNH says, BNH's response is MORE. Translation: you're sweet, but no matter what you say or do, I'm better. Lousy message to send a kid. The "love" part is fine, the comparison & competition is not.

We have read this with our children literally thousands of times. A line from the book "to the moon and back" is a common way to say good bye between our now teenage children and us. I buy it for every kid that comes along that needs a gift. You just have to have this entirely sweet little book.
