Title: Guess How Much I Love You
Author: Sam McBratney
Illustrator: Anita Jeram
Age Range: Baby - School Age
|
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
