Guess How Much I Love You Book

Average Rating:

Anita Jeram's pen and ink and watercolor illustrations of father and son gracefully capture the love they feel for each other. She hasn't drawn the typical cute little bunnies found in many children's books; she's drawn creatures capable of expressing emotion. The expression on Little Nutbrown Hare's face as he's falling asleep is one I've seen on my own children. Her pictures also show an incredible range of movement, from stretching arms as high or as wide as possible to very gently kissing a sleeping child on the forehead.

This is one of my favorite books. It's a standard part of any "new baby" gift I give, and everyone who has received it from me tells me that they cried when they read it. I still cry.

A great book for older pre-schoolers. As has been noted in many previous reviews, reading the book seems to stimulate a "how much do you love me" game with the kids and parents who read the book a lot. Given that the desire to be loved is one key need at this age group, a book that stimulates you to talk and play with your child in a way that distinctly communicates your love for him/her has got to be a good thing.

This is one of those books your kid's will grow out of before you do-much to your sorrow.

I highly recommend it.

It's a simple tale about the strong love that a parent has for their child, and there is no love stronger than that.

I'm sure this book will become a classic, I read this to my baby all the time because I love him to the moon and back!!

I highly recommend it to parents and children of all ages for generations to come and have given it as a gift to many new parents.
