Guess How Much I Love You

McBratney, S., & Jeram, A. (2000). Guess how much I love you. London: Walker Books.
Format: Board Book
Age:2+


This board book follows Little Nutbrown Hare as he tries to express to his father, Big Nutbrown Hare, just how much he loves him. He measures in arm stretches, hops, and even in measurements to the moon. He father reciprocates with the same thing, except his arm stretches are bigger, he hops higher, and he loves his son to the moon, and back. This is a cute story with endearing images of Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare. It is a perfect bedtime story, and little children often start getting imaginative and trying to come up with their own measurements as well. Even though this is a board book, it is relatively wordy but I think that 2 year olds and older would be able to sit through it. The format offers the child the ability to navigate the book on their own without worrying about damaging the book or having problems flipping the pages.
