Знаешь, как сильно можно любить? Иногда и рад бы сказать, но измерить любовь не так-то просто! Эта книжка для детей и их родителей, для внуков и внучек, бабушек и дедушек, для влюбленных юных и не очень, для всех, кто любит, любил или хочет любить.
The 1943 born Northern Ireland native started writing children's books when he was a teacher in his thirties, with the aim of helping out students who had trouble reading. But he continued writing for a more-personal reason: "the act of imagining simply makes me feel good," he says. The fifty-seventh book of Sam McBratney's career, and his first book with Candlewick Press, was the much-loved GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU, which has sold an astonishing 15 million copies worldwide, and is available in 37 languages. "This is not the sort of thing you expect when most of your books have been remaindered," the author admits. "But, as the frog trapped in the milk discovered, if you keep going, sometimes you find yourself walking on cream cheese."
Where does Sam McBratney get his inspiration? "I told my children stories when they were young," he says, "so when I write I try to think of what they would have liked." But there may be another source guiding his writing as well. The author's father--who worked as a type compositor with the BELFAST TELEGRAPH, and whose favorite books were westerns--is the person Sam McBratney credits for giving him his love of the English language. "Most of my picture books--GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU, THE DARK AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS, JUST ONE!, and JUST YOU AND ME--explore the relationship between a big one and a wee one," the author notes. "The big one is not called the father in the stories, but that's what he is. Although my dad died before I became a writer, the father in my stories has a voice and a presence that he would have recognized and understood."
In addition to authoring many books for children, Sam McBratney wrote radio plays for adults and a prize-winning collection of short stories. He received a degree in history and political science from Trinity College, Dublin, and worked for many years as a teacher.
A simple and sweet story, about the love a parent and child have for each other.
Little Nutbrown Hare asks Big Nutbrown Hare the title question, Guess how much I love you?, and the book continues as the two use larger and larger measures to quantify how much they love each other in answer to the question.

This is THE best bedtime story, in my opinion. It was a nightly ritual for my first daughter, and it holds a very special place in our hearts. When it says that the dad bunny leans down and kisses the little one's head, Leah would always lean down and kiss the picture. The page became a little scummy from kiddie goo, and it's PRECIOUS! I will forever cherish my little girl's kisses in the book.
Can't the parent just let the kid win one? Even after kid falls asleep, the parent has to one-up the frustrated, exhausted child. Go pick on someone your own size!
This is one of only three board books that continuously survive the purge because I simply can't bear to move it out. I see tiny, invisible handprints all over it, as it was a favorite of both of my children. I received this as a baby shower gift and have easily read it hundreds of times. That it is still occasionally requested at bedtime makes my heart happy. Beautifully illustrated, this story is so sweet that I have never been able to read the ending without a lump in my throat and a hitch in my voice. How much do I love this book? To the moon. More importantly, how much do my children love this book? To the moon and back. 5 stars.
Update 2018: This once again has survived the year end, post-holiday purge. I tossed my beloved camouflage print Vans, my 1992 Cure concert T-shirt and several little monuments to my past that no longer serve me, but I simply cannot release this 11 year old, tattered board book. So on my shelf in the living room it remains, where it continues to make my heart happy.
Someone wanted a story before bed, but someone isn't listening. I wonder if that someone could be Indy boy? And I wonder if that was to put off going to bed?! Of course it is.
This is a great little book. One that is a physical story as we do the actions along with the little hare, and the big hare. Our arms stretched wide or high, to show the love. This is a good little book for my son as he does not sit still for a story, but as it's about what 'we' do at home ie., 'I love you to the moon and back' or 'I love you more, I love you 10, I love you 20' - yes this is what we say between bed and closed door as a way to say goodnight - anything that creates harmony around here is a good thing. Recommended book for 2's through to the moon and back of age groups.
If I were to ask you what the most popular children’s board book was in my Little Free Library Shed would you know the answer? Of course, you would, because you are reading the review right now!
I can’t begin to tell you how many times this book has come into the LFL, left, come back again, and left again, to come back again. And…each time, it is a different one. Which means…it is a new donation. Yes, whoever took the first one, did not return it.
This book is a keeper.
Why? Because how can you not resist the title?
This book was first given to me by my husband. Yes, I know. You heard me correctly. Before I say more about this, let me go into this book.
Plain and simple, this is a story about love, and how far it reaches and how deep it goes.
If we were to consider the educational themes, and how wonderful this book works between parent and child, or teacher and child�
At its core, because the story is about love, this is a great book for teaching little ones how to express their love and why it is important to tell people you love them.
It is also a sweet story that explains a pretty big idea in a way that even the youngest hearts can understand.
Reading level� start at any age. Even adult to adult � we all have the capacity to learn the depth that love can take us.
I finally got around to reading this classic story. A beginning story, simple and sweet about the love a parent and child have for each other.
This will give you warm fuzzies all over. The artwork is cute and the simple story and characters are perfect to deliver this message.
The nephew was like, cute bunnies, boring story. Nothing happens. He is a man of action. They spend the book telling each other how much they love each other. He would have loved it a few years ago, but now he is too old for such things. He gave it 2 stars, so he didn’t totally hate it.
Okay this is my favorite book in the whole wide world, so I was surprised to see the number of less than favorable reviews.
To the guy that thinks (and I use that word liberally) that this book is a allegory for socialism, really? I mean really???? Really?????
To everyone else that thinks this book is about a "game of one-upsmanship" or it has a "undercurrent of competition between the parent and the child", You guys could not be more wrong.
Is upsmanship even really a word?
This book is about the nature of the love that exists between parent and child, no matter how much your children love you, I assure you that it will never be as much as you love them. That's what this book is about.
I read this book to my daughter just last night and I've read it to her at least a hundred times. Every time I do, when I flip that last page and read the final sentence, I nearly cry. That's why this is my favorite book in the whole wide world!
One of the only books I can read to my daughter where the adult in the book is a male. Most of the books have no men or relegate the father to support-staff roles.
Having said that, the book is really a testosterone-fueled look at the competitive indoctrination of little boys.
Paraphrase of text:
Kid: I love you as million.
Dad: I love you a billion.
Kid: Can't you let me win once?
Dad: Only when you surpass my strength, then I will live vicariously through you.
Despite this shortcoming, the illustrations are great. My daughter loves it.
Normaal zet ik een boek dat ik met Björn lees alleen de eerste keer dat ik het lees op mijn leesprofielen, anders gaan mijn rereads echt door het dak. Maar dit was een bijzonder moment en wel echt een mijlpaal, want tijdens het spelen pakte hij dit boekje uit de kast en kwam er mee naar mij toe gekropen en hij wilde op schoot en het boekje lezen.. té schattig, mijn hart barstte echt uit elkaar.

Ik was vergeten dat ik deze klassieker wél leuk vind!
This may be my least favorite children's book that I've read to the kids. Even worse than the highly commercialized children's books devoid of any value which are made for nothing but the tie-ins to TV shows and toy sales. Guess How Much I Love You turns loving each other into a competition - and one where the child can never win against the parent. I like the idea of parent and child loving each other a lot, but this is so, so wrong of a way to communicate that theme. I found it unpleasant and saddening. It just made me uneasy to read it. And not just me. Ms. K only had to read it to her kids once, before she got rid of it. She felt the same way about it that I did. Yuck.
Little Nutbrown Hare and his father, Big Nutbrown Hare, have what at first glance seems like a love competition in this sweet reassurance tale from Northern Irish author Sam McBratney and English illustrator Anita Jeram. As the younger hare declares his love, only to be continually outdone by his elder - "I love you as high as I can reach," the son says, but his father can reach higher - it gradually emerges that the two are enacting a bedtime ritual in which their mutual love is reaffirmed, all while the elder tacitly signals his protection, and the younger his admiration.
A contemporary classic for young children, Guess How Much I Love You was originally published in 1994, and is a book I have read many times over the years, although I am only now (in 2016) getting around to recording my response to it. This edition is a 20th Anniversary one, and contains a brief note from both author and illustrator. I've always loved this gentle tale, with its humorous and indulgent papa hare, and its cute-as-a-button hare son. McBratney perfectly captures their back and forth, just as Anita Jeram captures their loving bond in her charming ink and watercolor illustrations. I particularly love the contrasts between Big and Little Nutbrown Hare, as they gesticulate. Recommended most highly to anyone looking for reassurance tales for younger children!
Nice illustrations. But the tone of the book doesn't strike me as particularly nice. I've known people who always have to win, and they're generally not pleasant to be around. The father figure's need to get in the last word even after the son is asleep reminds me of those unpleasant people, and makes me want to avoid this book.
At risk of offending, I kind of really hate this smug Daddy trying to compete with his son the whole time. Why is it so important to him to show his son that he's bigger and more powerful (at loving, I know, I know, but the point stands) all the time? Just let the kid love you big and give him right back atcha. How frustrated that little nutbrown hare must feel. I think this is a book for parents not for children. And it's fucking sappy. However, Anita Jeram's illustrations are absolutely lovely so props to her and I'm going to find more of her work.
Czytając “Nawet nie wiesz, jak bardzo cię kocham� Sama McBratneya z ilustracjami Anity Jeram, która to książka jest uroczą opowiastką o Małym Brązowym Zajączku i Dużym Brązowym Zajączku, byłem szczerze zaskoczony płynnością i urodą przekładu.
Cofnąłem się do strony tytułowej i zobaczyłem powód mojej radości - Jarosław Mikołajewski. Po prostu wspaniale się to czyta, chociaż wydaje się, że nie ma czego czytać, bo to taka historyjka gdzie Zajączki licytują się na to który kocha bardziej (“Oooo tak!�) i tyle.
Ta historia pokazuje dwie rzeczy - dobrze zatrudniać dobrych tłumaczy i tłumaczki nawet do prostych historii i� warto o nich informować już na okładce. HarperKids - nie umiecie w reklamę, zatrudniliście do przekładu Mikołajewskiego i nie ma go na okładce? Nawet w opisie na 4 stronie? Chwalicie się na okładce “papierem z odpowiedzialnych źródeł�, a nie chwalicie się Mikołajewskim. Bez sęsu.
OK--I don't get this book. I just picked it up at a thrift store, feeling like Jackson is probably missing out on a major rite of passage if he doesn't read this as a toddler, but I don't get it. So the big nutbrown hare has to outdo the little nutbrown hare every time? It's a competition, is it? Sure, it's pretty and all, but someone needs to explain to me why this is a classic. Is my Mom card going to be revoked for saying that?
Small-fry and I have just added the phrase "I love you to the moon and back" to our vocabulary and it makes my cold-icy heart swell a little each time.
I HATE this book. What is the message? No matter what the little bunny tries to do, the father bunny has to one-better it. ARGH. I refuse to read this to my child anymore.
