Guess How Much I Love You: Book and Toy Gift Set

Pair one of the best-selling children’s books of all time with a cute and cuddly Little Nut Brown Hare beanbag doll, and you have the perfect way to say, "I love you to the moon and back!" Whether for devotees of GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU or complete newcomers, this winsome gift box will charm loved ones of all ages.

Little Nutbrown Hare wants very much to impress Big Nutbrown Hare with the enormous scale of his devotion, but ends up being the one who's impressed. Subtitled "a pop-up edition," this sturdy square edition of Sam McBratney's ever-popular Guess How Much I Love You is probably better described as a "slide-along edition." Some pages do include pop-ups, but they aren't the best ones; instead, most involve pull-tabs which animate the two rabbits and their surroundings. One of the most appealing scenes simply shows Little Nutbrown Hare hopping up and down. In a purely technical sense this exercise in interactive cardboard technology is well behind some of the competition, but the tale has a timeless charm and the very simplicity of the movements makes it easy for small fingers to waggle the tabs and take control of the story. (Ages 2 to 4) --Richard Farr
