About this book
Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare compare how much they love each other: Little loves Big as far as he can reach, but Big has longer arms. Little Hare loves Big as far as the river, and then, as he gets sleepy, he tells him he loves him up to the moon. And when he sleeps, Big whispers 'I love you to the moon and back'.
This modern classic is a wonderful story about love between a child and a parent, which is never too early to share with your baby. The repetitive text lends itself perfectly to a soothing bedtime read, and the loving message is perfect for bonding with your baby.
