| Little Nutbrown Hare loves Big Nutbrown Hare as far as he can reach and as high as he can hop. But Big Nutbrown Hare loves him as far as his long arms can reach and as high as his strong legs can hop. Well then, Little Nutbrown Hare loves Big Nutbrown Hare right up to the moon! That is very far, but it’s just halfway to Big Nutbrown Hare’s love for Little Nutbrown Hare. With endearing watercolors by Anita Jeram that capture a deep and tender bond between the characters, Sam McBratney’s touching bedtime story seeks to measure the immeasurable: the love between a parent and a child.

Yes, yes, it's a wonderful story, full of love and warm cozy feelings, and of course it brings tears to my eyes every time I read it . . . but there are too many words, not enough colors, and it's just not interesting enough for a very young child. We read several books a day in our house (sometimes several dozen), but, as patient as he is, my son just won't sit still for this book. I have great hopes that he'll love this story in a year or two, but by then he will have outgrown board books. So, in short, you should certainly buy this classic, but don't expect to be able to read it to a toddler! I'd skip the board version and go right to the big-kid book.

My daughter loves this book, she got the cardboard edition as a gift when she was a couple months old and is currently six and a half months and has had it read to her many many times. The biggest problem I have now is getting her to listen to me or look at it with out trying to chew the book, but I suspect that she'll outgrow that stage (someday!). This story is very adorable and I think that it is comforting for a child to know that their parent(s) can and that they do love them more, after all little ones are so self centered and it is our job as good parents to help them grow out of that by showing that there is great reward in loving others more than they love us. I think there is a great allegory here about God's love for his children too, so reading this to a child can maybe get us adults to think a little deeper about our own value. This is a great story, a great book and should be given to and read to the very young (don't wait until they can read- start now). A very strong recommendation.

This is one of the sweetest books out there. My daughter and I love to read it together. My only compliant is that this book didn't interest my daughter until around her second birthday, I assume because of the lack of color. The illustrations from an adult perspective thought are beautiful, as is the message.

I bought this book not for a child but for a close friend who is going through a very difficult time in his life. I picked it based on the title alone, because it seemed like it'd have the sort of message I wanted to share with my friend. When I read it, I was delighted by the very simple story of two characters trying to define the size of their love, in a way very much like a game I used to play with my mother. Some people feel that the story is very competitive and I can understand that opinion, but I never felt that way when I played that game with my mother, nor does the book feel competitive to me. To me, the message is simply about love, and the undefinable, unquantifiable nature of it, and the way that no matter what kind of analogy you create for how much you love someone, it's still not big enough.Besides the message of the story, and soothing illustrations, what really made this book a favorite was the lack of definition for the relationship between the big and little hares. A lot of stories mention in one way or another how the characters are related, and usually they're parent and child. This book makes no mention of how the two characters are related, or even if they are related in any legally-recognized way; you can take it to be whatever you want, whatever fits. Because of that, it's a particularly good fit for our odd mentorship-friendship, or any other nontraditional relationship.
