Description
About the story
At bedtime, Little Nutbrown Hare wants Big Nutbrown Hare to know just how much he loves him – as wide as his arms can reach, as high as he can hop, all the way to the moon. But Big Nutbrown Hare always seems to love him a little bit more. A gentle, reassuring story about love between a parent and child that has become a bedtime classic.
What’s inside
- Guess How Much I Love You – choose the sturdy Board Book or the Picture Book.
- Classic: Nutbrown Hare Soft Toy – soft, cuddly and just right for little arms during the story.
- Deluxe: everything in Classic plus the Little Hare Rattle – a second, smaller hare so you can play Big and Little Nutbrown Hare together.
Ways to play
- Read the story together, then stretch your arms out wide – how much do you love each other?
- Hop, reach and stretch like the hares – who can reach the highest?
- Use the soft toy (and rattle) to retell the story, taking turns to be Big and Little Nutbrown Hare.
- Make it part of your bedtime routine – one story, one cuddle, “right up to the moon”.
Learning through play (Aistear)

- Well-being – comfort, calm bedtime routines and gross motor play (stretching and hopping).
- Identity & Belonging – love, family and feeling secure with the people who care for us.
