Bookroo's summary

Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare embark on a heartfelt journey to express their immeasurable love. As they explore the depths of their bond, they find that love transcends words. This cherished tale, now in a padded board-book edition, invites young readers to experience the warmth and wonder of a parent's love. How far will their love reach? To the moon and back, and beyond.

From the publisher

Sometimes, when you love someone very, very much, you want to find a way of describing how much you treasure them. But, as Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare discover, love is not an easy thing to measure! For two decades, Sam McBratney’s timelessly endearing story, beautifully rendered in Anita Jeram’s exquisite watercolors, has captured the deep and tender bond between parent and child. Guess How Much I Love You is one of the world’s best-loved picture books.

It's sweet, and the illustrations are lovely. It's just a little boring to me. There are a lot of "I love you" books out there and I'd pass on this one.
