Guess How Much I Love You
Happy International Rabbit Day!
So today we read 'Guess How Much I Love You' by Sam McBratney and illustrated by Anita Jeram. And, yes, I know the main characters in the book are nutbrown hares not nutbrown rabbits but she's six months, she doesn't know the difference yet so I'm using my poetic license!
Before, we review the book, I should start by saying that this copy of the story isn't actually part of BookBairn's library. It belongs to her daddy. When she was just a little bump, daddy celebrated his birthday and BookBairnBump gave this to him as a birthday gift. It's now in her library because he's such a generous daddy!
At the youthful age of six months BookBairn doesn't understand much of this story. I like to think she understands the sentiment though. It's about love. Love between parents and children. That is within her realms of experience. She gets it. The little nutbrown hare loves the big nutbrown hare, and the big nutbrown hare loves the little nutbrown hare even more.
I love this story. It is a story for grown-ups too. It reminds us all how much we are loved by our parents. And how much we love them in return. It doesn't get more beautiful than that.
I love you BookBairn, to the moon and back.
Thanks for reading and enjoy International Rabbit Day.
