Welcome the family classic with an elegant, refreshed cover - the quintessential picture book, just waiting to be shared. 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. Review Effused with tenderness, McBratneys wise, endearing, and droll story is enriched by the near-monochromatic backdrop of Jerams 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. . . . Theres 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 childrens book that captures the unique dialogue between a parent and child. -Child Magazine The perfect bedtime story for sleepy little ones. Sam McBratneys soft, repetitive text is reminiscent of classic tales by Margaret Wise Brown (Goodnight Moon, The Runaway Bunny). . . . Anita Jerams watercolor renderings of this endearing pair add sweet humor to a finely crafted book. -Christian Science Monitor About the Author Sam McBratney (1943?2020) is the author of the internationally best-selling classic Guess How Much I Love You and its sequel, Will You Be My Friend?, as well as All My Favorites, all illustrated by Anita Jeram.
