Summary: The perfect father book
Review: I still enjoy reading this one. I found this several years ago when searching for a book about fathers and children to give my husband as a gift on fathers day. This one is perfect. This shares all the tenderness usually reserved for mothers in childrens literature. The story is full of wonderful images and exceptionally fluid and imaginative writing. I love it.

Summary: Wonderful, sweet, a precious classic
Review: Story and illustrations are wonderful, and fun to read. This has been a favorite book of my daughters for a couple years now.... always making an appearance in their hands every couple weeks to read again and again!The story is sweet, and started a little game between us where one of us says "I love you more!"... than the other says, "no, I love you more!" and over and over again. Silly, yes, but that's the fun in it. This is a fun and warming story... leaves a great feeling in the parent and the child when reading as a bedtime story. This one is sure to leave the child with good dreams. Enjoy, and look into other Sam McBratney books if you like this one. They are all wonderful.

Summary: Awkward and Competitive
Review: I love childrens' stories and I love my children but guess how little I love this book. Like cheap chocolate, it is sweet but not good quality and not very satisfying. From a literary point of view, the phrases "big nutbrown hare" and "little nutbrown hare" seem specially chosen to be hard to read outloud and if the book is aimed at children, as opposed to just their parents, the lack of rhyme or rythm is a significant negative. The bigger issue though is the underlying message about the limitted ability of children to love, or perhaps to express their love. There are many beautiful books about loving parent/child relationships out there so why settle for one which models a competitive approach where no matter how creatively the child expresses it's love the adult trumps it, even after the child has fallen asleep and can no longer respond? If I read this book to my sons, I stop before the last page; but a better solution is to leave this book at the back of the shelf and read other books such as Mama Do You Love Me? which communicates the unconditional nature of parental love while letting children know that parents can have other feelings such as anger, sadness, or fear or loneliness at the same time. As a bonus, Mama Do You Love Me? introduces children to Alaskan First Nations images as opposed to some relatively repetitive "nutbrown hares". There are so many other better books I don't even want to start listing them. Sure we want our children to grow up feeling loved and knowing how to love; do you really want them to grow up with this type of competitive feel good mush as their model?

Summary: Love you!
Review: This is a wonderful book that helps to reassure little ones of their parents or guardians love. My children just love it. I find that at times when there is difficulty in our relationship or esp. when they have been dissappointed by their absent parent, this little story reaffirms that they are loved. We all need to be reminded that we are worthy of being loved and Guess How Much I Love You is an excellent way of expressing this to children. I highly recommend this to all families!

Summary: Wonderful story
Review: This book was given to my daughter when she was only 2 months old, as a christening gift. We have read it to her so much that she knows all the words by heart now and was reading it to us when she was 3. She is 5 now and still loves the story. We have bought it many times for gifts for friends and family and everyone has enjoyed it. I highly recommend it for first time parents also!

Summary: One for Daddy & Baby
Review: My son and I love this book! One of the best aspects of it is that it focuses on the loving relationship between father and son. It is very sweet, without being sappy, and has a comforting effect on little ones.

Summary: For the older baby?
Review: We received this as a gift for our newborn. He's now 15 months and still won't sit still past the first page of this book. Perhaps he'll enjoy it as he gets older? If you have an infant, I would strongly recommend "Goodnight Moon" over this one.

Summary: Wonderful, cute and fun to read to baby
Review: 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.
