How much will the youngest readers love this board book edition? Now with a refreshed cover in a format perfect for little hands.

"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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Effused with tenderness, McBratney's wise, endearing, and droll story is enriched by the near-monochromatic backdrop of Jeram's pen-and-wash artwork, rendered earthy tones of moss, soft brown, and gray for a visually quieting effect just right for that last soothing tale before sleep.
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

An endearing nursery game is beautifully revitalized in this comforting, sleepy-time picture book. . . . There's not a wrong note in this tender tale, which should become an endearing bedtime favorite — right up there with Goodnight Moon.
—Booklist (starred review)

Every parent will relate.
—USA Today

A well-written gem with sprightly illustrations.
—L.A. Parent

An extraordinary children's book that captures the unique dialogue between a parent and child.
—Child Magazine

The perfect bedtime story for sleepy little ones. Sam McBratney's soft, repetitive text is reminiscent of classic tales by Margaret Wise Brown (Goodnight Moon, The Runaway Bunny). . . . Anita Jeram's watercolor renderings of this endearing pair add sweet humor to a finely crafted book.
—Christian Science Monitor

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet book, should be a staple in every child's library
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2016

This is a beautifully sweet book for baby. It has sweet little bunny pictures of papa and baby bunny, and it beautifully expresses a parent's love for their child. I've seen this book around, and my mom had bought it for my nephews a few years ago. I knew I had to add it to the library of books for my daughter. I've even given this as a gift to friends.

It's very well and beautifully made, and it's a hard cover book, so it holds up quite well. The pages are glossy and attractive, and the drawings are very sweet.This is a good book to start reading to your child early, and it will surely become their favorite as they get older.

This is not a competitive book, but rather a book about a fun game to guess how much the parent hare loves the child hare. In the end, it's all about letting the child win. The father waits until the child is asleep in the assurance he has come up with the unbeatable answer, "I Love you all the way to the moon!" But as he sleeps and the father looks at this bundle of miracle that has been bestowed upon him he says what he feels, "I love you all the way to the moon, and back". The child doesn't hear this. The father is just expressing a love he can't even define it's so big. That's not competitive or mean spirited, it's a wonderfully realistic portrayal of having a feeling of love so big that you know there is nothing bigger.

I wouldn't say this book brings tears to my eyes, but it is certainly a good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love unlimited - a powerful message for children
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2000

I was browsing through the children's department of my favorite local bookstore, looking for a gift, when this title caught my eye. I settled down on the floor for a read, and fell in love.
Big Nutbrown Hare is getting ready to put Little Nutbrown Hare to sleep for the night, when Little challenges him to guess how much he loves him. Little stretches his arms wide and says, "This much!" Big stretches his arms even wider and returns the love. Little keeps finding bigger and bigger ways to express his love for Big, and each time, Big outdoes him by virtue of his greater size. Finally, Little has to stop and ponder, and then triumphantly claims that his love for Big goes "all the way to the moon." That's a lot, Big concedes, and satisfied, Little settles down to sleep - and misses Big's whisper that he loves him "to the moon and back."
For children anxious about being loved, I can't think of a better story to illustrate how limitless their parents' love really is. No matter how much you love me, Big is saying, I love you that much and more. A comforting message, and one that Little can sleep on.
One of the things that makes this book unusual is that both hares are male. There is no lack of books about the love of mothers for their children, but Daddy-love is harder to find. I love the message here.
The pen and watercolor illustrations are wonderful. The animals are perfectly drawn - not cutesy, not cartoony, they are big rangy hares, with remarkably expressive faces. No cute little fluffola bunnies here...
I recommend this book as a valuable addition to your children's library.

4.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book before I had a child...she's not that interested, though.
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2009
Verified Purchase
The one star review for this book struck me as really silly. I think this book is very sweet and don't understand the reviewer who saw it as negative competition and the father not accepting that his child loves him. To me, this "guess how much I love you" conversation seems like a natural, cute game that most children would enjoy if presented in a spirit of fun, not "I'm better than you". I want to teach my daughter spanish and I have bought this book in both english and spanish.

I've loved this book since I first saw it 10 years ago and now that I'm pregnant I bought it for my daughter. Other reviewers have also criticized the illustrations as being boring, but I like the illustrations, myself. Maybe my child won't like this book as much as I do? Well, I'm going to at least give her the opportunity to find out.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, my daughter has not liked this book as much as I did. She is three now and I think it's actually too sentimental for her! (Darn it. lol) The illustrations are still appealing to me as a grown up but I see her drawn more to vivid colors.

I had originally given this book 5 stars because I thought it was so sweet, but if you're looking for something your child will be thrilled with this might not be it. I couldn't bare to take away more than one star, though. Ultimately, I guess I bought it for me! :)

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2014

Fast shipping was definitely a plus. I ordered two, one for me and one for a friend and her daughter. Both arrived in perfect condition.

As far as the actual book goes I really liked it. Some of the reviews said it wasn't cute because they were competing over who loved who more. But my three year old and I do that all the time. We are just playing around and he always wins. I say I love you, he says a love you more, I say I love you most and after play arguing he eventually says "I just want to love you equal" so we agree on loving each other equally.
Just wanted to point out that big nutbrown hare let little nutbrown hare win. He didn't say he loved him to the moon and back until after little nutbrown hare was asleep.

The book is adorable in my opinion. Not so sure I like the name choices because they're so long but I could easily substitute different names in if it annoys me that much.

My little guy and I say "I love you to the moon and back" all the time so he thought it was pretty cool something he actually says was in a book.
