This beautiful picture book says so much with so few words. Anita Jeram’s buoyant illustrations are endearingly Beatrix Potter-esque. * CBI * Little Nutbrown Hare returns more than 25 years after first delighting millions around the world in Guess How Much I Love You. This charming follow up by the late Sam McBratney again features Anita Jeram’s stunning illustrations and is a wonderful celebration of learning to be independent and the importance of making friends. * The Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday *
