Review by Sherri Allen:

Fans of Sam McBratney's "Guess How Much I Love You" will be delighted by the Tenth Anniversary edition of the heartwarming children's classic. Covered with cloth and enclosed in an attractive slipcase, this special edition makes an excellent keepsake to be cherished for years to come.

Little Nutbrown Hare is getting ready for bed when he starts a game of "I love you this much." Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare take turns coming up with bigger and better ways to express the extent of their love for each other. The story ends with Little Nutbrown Hare drifting off to sleep feeling safe and loved. "Guess How Much I Love You" is sure to inspire comforting bedtime routines for many, many children and their parents.

Anita Jeram's soft watercolor illlustrations are gentle and sweet, subtly expressing the tenderness shared between father and son.

A "Guess How Much I Love You" audio CD is included as a special treat with the Tenth Anniversary edition. The CD is filled with over 45 minutes of storytelling, songs and activities inspired by the story. The narrator's voice is mellow, the music is soothing and the activities encourage children to participate in storytime.

The Tenth Anniversary edition of "Guess How Much I Love You" makes an excellent gift for expectant and new parents, newborns, babies and young children. It will be treasured as far as their arms can reach, and then some.
