Book Reviews of Guess How Much I Love You
Book Review: "I"m the parent, I can outdo anything you say"
Summary: 2 Stars
Little Nutbrown Hare (why couldn't he/she have a NAME?!?!?) LOVES Big Nutbrown Hare. Okay. BNH loves LHN MORE! No matter what LNH says, BNH's response is MORE. Translation: you're sweet, but no matter what you say or do, I'm better. Lousy message to send a kid. The "love" part is fine, the comparison & competition is not.Book Review: Doesn't hold my daughter's interest
Summary: 1 Stars
Whenever I read this book to my daughter, she starts fidgeting on my lap and looking around for her other books. The illustrations are beautiful, but somewhat monochromatic (the hares are brown of course, but there's not much variety of background...). The other off-putting issue with this book is the one-up-man-ship of Big Nutbrown Hare. The book may purport to be about unconditional love, but Big Nutbrown Hare makes a point to show Little Nutbrown Hare that he's always going to have the last word and most clever reply. Based on these two factors, the book rates one star.Book Review: Guess How Much I'm Better Than You
Summary: 1 Stars
"Little Nutbrown Hare" tries to tell "Big Nutbrown Hare" how much he loves him, in which BNBH uses it to show how much better he can do things than LNBH. A less secure little bunny would have retreated into a corner after the Big Hare's refusal to acknowledge how big his son's love is for him. Not big enough?
Not a good example of how people should relate to others.
The author is also showing us how much better they are by being too sophisticated to use baby words like Daddy, bunny, or baby. It's too wordy for the age range.
Book Review: Painful to read
Summary: 1 Stars
Other reviewers have covered the basics of what is wrong with this book. I'll just add a big "ditto." I feel bad for the little nut brown hair. Fortunately, my son has never liked this book either. I can't remember the last time this book was read in our house.Book Review: The little hare can never win, so sad
Summary: 1 Stars
I love the fact that the relationship between the two characters is left open ended. I hate that the big hare keeps outdoing the little hare. Just say "Thank you. I love you, too!"
