Editorial Reviews: "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.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Prepare for tears Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Nice book to have in your childs library. Comment: 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?). Customer Rating: Summary: Great book! Sweet, loving, and beautifully illustrated Comment: 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! Customer Rating: Summary: Touching and just plain sweet Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Book To Show Someone How Much You Love Them Comment: What a great book. This children's book is filled with fun examples of instances of Love. It grants a child a clearer picture of the deep love a parent has for a child. I would recommend this for ages 4-6. Enjoy! More Reviews
