BubsNest expert analysis of 6 parenting forum discussions

“A beloved classic that captures the special bond between parent and child”

8.1

Loved It

Parents overwhelmingly love this classic children's book, praising its tender, relatable story about the boundless love between a parent and child. While a few find the narrative a touch too brief, most agree it's a heartwarming read that sparks meaningful interactions with little ones. Families with young toddlers and preschoolers tend to get the most joy from this timeless tale.

What parents love

Heartwarming storyParents describe the book as a beautiful, touching exploration of the special bond between parent and child that resonates deeply with young readers.
Relatable charactersThe two hares, Big Nutbrown Hare and Little Nutbrown Hare, are widely seen as endearing, realistic representations of a parent and child that children easily connect with.
Engaging illustrationsReviewers praise the delicate, expressive watercolour illustrations that perfectly complement the gentle narrative and bring the characters to life.

Worth knowing

Brief storyA few reviewers feel the narrative is a bit too short, wishing there were more to the tale beyond the central 'how much' exchange.
Lack of explicit parent-child relationshipWhile most assume the hares are a parent and child, the book doesn't definitively state their relationship, which some parents find slightly confusing.
Mirror distortionA small number of parents note the mirror on the final page can slightly distort children's reflections, though most still find it a delightful surprise.

Best for

  • Families with toddlers and preschoolers
  • Parents looking for a heartwarming, interactive read-aloud
  • Fans of the original Guess How Much I Love You picture book

May not suit

  • Older children who may find the story too brief
  • Parents seeking an extensively detailed narrative

Tips from parents

Before You Buy

Consider the board book format if you have young toddlers who may be rough with pages

Getting the Most Out of It

Encourage children to show how much they love you, just like the characters, for a sweet interactive experience

Safety Note

Supervise young children when looking in the mirror on the final page to avoid any potential distortion issues
