"Guess how much I love you," says Little Nutbrown Hare. Little Nutbrown Hare shows his daddy how much he loves him: as wide as he can reach and as far as he can hop. But Big Nutbrown Hare, who can reach farther and hop higher, loves him back just as much. Well then Little Nutbrown Hare loves him right up to the moon, but that's just halfway to Big Nutbrown Hare's love for him.
A simple "good night" turns into an "I-love-you-this-much" contest as Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare try to top the love they have for each other! Share this charming, colorfully illustrated story with your children and show them that you love them "right up to the moon--and back." Recommended for ages 3 to 8.

Meant, I assume, to depict the boundless love of a parent for his child, instead the come-backs of Big Nutbrown Hare come across as constant one-ups-manship. Even as the longing Little Hare, trying and trying to love his parent enough, drifts off to sleep, Big Hare gets in one final competitive "Gotcha" response. Sure not a tone I want to share with the children in my life. Too bad. It could have been a charming book. Other than the illustrations, I can't imagine why this has become a classic. Choose a book like "God Gave Us You" instead to get a healthy message of a parent's love for their child.
