There is so much we love about this book. Every page stretches the imagination on how much one can love in physical distance form and it makes you realize that love, in a sense, has not bounds. You can’t guess how much Little Nutbrown Hare is loved, but he are loved endlessly. Not only is this book warm and fuzzy vibes, it makes you want to cry with this father and child relationship. Vivienne’s dad is a big inspiration in my life and it makes her realize how much she love him and hope to be just like him one…

From Vivienne's list on making you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

This is an absolute classic and has stood the test of time. I still get tears in my eyes after reading this book today, the same as I did reading it over 25 years ago (when it was first published) to my then small daughter. We still refer back to it today. The beautiful soft and delicate watercolour illustrations by Anita Jerum are the perfect match for the text which pulls at your heartstrings every time.

This gorgeous picture book has become a modern classic. The story of Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare trying to express how much…

A fun and charming story about learning from our elders what life and love are about, even when you’re just a little bunny rabbit. It’s where the popular phrase “I love you right up to the moon – and back” stems from. This book’s a moon voyage worth taking!

From Joan's list on caregiving and assisted living.

This is a sweet story about Little Nutbrown Hare telling Big Nutbrown Hare how much he loves him. It makes for a friendly father-son competition where one tries to out love the other. I can see fathers and kids doing the physical things in the book while they read it together such as stretching their arms out wide, reaching high, and jumping up. The competition ends with a kiss and an “I love you right up to the moon and back.” The illustrations are simple and the message is endearing. No wonder this story is a classic!
