Anita Jeram was born and brought up in Portsmouth. Anita worked in a variety of jobs after leaving school before doing a foundation course in Visual Studies at Manchester Polytechnic, followed by a degree course in illustration.

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. View 1 comment.

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 At risk of offending, I kind of really hate this smug Daddy trying to compete with his son the whole time.

However, Anita Jeram's illustrations are absolutely lovely so props to her and I'm going to find more of her work. View all 7 comments. I found it on sale at my bookstore and bought to so I can read it to my future kids. Sep 11, Jamie rated it really liked it Shelves: childrens. Little back and forth about who loves the other more. Cute, heartwarming story. I didn't know "I love you to the moon and back" was from here. Mar 03, Amber rated it did not like it. 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? View all 4 comments. Nov 16, Shirley Revill rated it it was amazing. This is one of the best night time children's stories ever. Beautiful story and illustrations. Love this children's book.

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. Jun 17, Denine Benedetto rated it did not like it.

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. I refuse to read this to my child anymore. Jan 29, Amelia Rodriguez rated it it was amazing. Definitely one of my favorite childhood books.

How much is much? When BNH says that he couldn't guess how much, LNH stretches his arms out and shows him that the distance between the extremities of each is how much he loves him. A little bit taken aback, LNH then stretches upwards as high as he can reach and says that is how much he loves BNH, who responds by stretching upwards and tells LNH that is the extent of his love LNH tries a handstand and tells BNH that he loves him all the way up to his toes but once again he is thwarted as BNH picks him up, swings him high and says, 'And I love you all the way up to your toes.

The latter responds by hopping so high that his ears touch the highest branches of the trees and he tells LNH that is how much he loves him! So LNH decides that he will try another strategy and he says, 'I love you all the way down the lane to the river' to which BNH responds with 'I love you across the river and over the hills. But just as he is beginning to feel too sleepy to think anymore he looks up at the sky and realises that nothing could be further than the sky.

That is very, very far. Aug 24, Airiz rated it it was amazing Shelves: children-s-lit , humor , my-favorites , books-from-childhood , classic. A shot of insulin, please! Who knows? I might read them to my own kids in the future. Feb 26, Kathryn rated it really liked it Shelves: childrens-picture-books , valentines-day. This is a sweet story where the big bunny maybe a daddy bunny? The ending phrase seemed a bit trite but perhaps it's because I have heard the phrase so much now, on everything from t-shirts to wall art, that it seems cliche.

Not sure if this book was the first one to use it? Mar 30, Chantal rated it really liked it Shelves: , children-books. A cute little book about how much one rabbit loves his child. The drawings were great and the story was simple but I had to laugh at times because it reminded me of ex boyfriend I had. Great book for kids about the meaning of love. Sep 23, Ryan rated it it was amazing. I love this book to the moon and back. Also I love my mommy as much as the moon and back.

What a sweet story! The illustrations are adorable too. Jan 28, Zoey rated it really liked it. It was about bunnies showing each other how much they love each other. It was a very cute book. They were cute bunnies.

Readers also enjoyed. Then Little Nutbrown Hare had a good idea. He tumbled upside down and reached up the tree trunk with his feet. That's good hopping, thought Little Nutbrown Hare. I wish I could hop like that. That's very far, thought Little Nutbrown Hare. He was almost too sleepy to think anymore.
