Illustrated by Anita Jeram, 25th Anniversary Edition
The Size of Love!
How do you put love into words? Little and Big Nutbrown Hares try to figure that out in this book about the enduring love between an adult and child. Little compares his love for Big to things that can be seen. For instance, he says his love is as big as he can hop, or as wide as he can spread his arms. But Little is disappointed that Big can do it, too, with bigger hops and wider arm spreads. Little exhausts himself trying to find a way to describe his love in a way that is unique to just him. As he drifts off to sleep, he believes he has done it.
Children adore being loved and telling others about their love for them, and this timeless story does a good job doing that. The two bunnies give lots of warm fuzzies to each other, as well as, to the reader–especially with the much-loved phrase, “I love you right up to the moon—and back.”
In celebration of the 25th Anniversary Edition, this book has large, oversized, premium-paper pages; a sturdy hard-back cover; and a matching slip-cover with a keepsake print.
Although this book can be read anytime, it makes a lovely bedtime story. This 5-star picture book will be adored by non-readers to beginning readers who enjoy being loved, and telling others of their love for them.
