Summary/Back cover:

Sometimes when you love someone very, very much, you want to find a way of describing how great your feelings are.  But, as Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare discover, love is not an easy thing to measure!

Big Nutbrown Hare is putting Little Nutbrown Hare to bed when the question is asked - Guess how much I love you?  And so starts the best and only example of the honourable-outdo - who loves who more. 

I ADORE this book!  My eldest son, who is now 11,  has his own special copy as it was his favourite as a child.  He passed on a lot of his books to his cousins and when his brother was born, he gave him all the special ones he held back except for this one.

Wonderfully illustrated, it has become a firm classic in the children's book arena.  We found it to be a nice, soothing bedtime read as it leads to Little Nutbrown Hare falling asleep at the end of the book.
