Guess How Much I Love You: Pop-Up: (An Interative 3D Pop-Up & Pull-Tab Edition of the Classic Baby Book About Loving Right Up to the Moon and Back) Hardcover – Picture Book, September 13, 2011

We received the pop up edition during my baby shower and even though it made me cry almost every time I read it, it was by far one of my favorite books to read with my children. It is such a tender and sweet story about the love between a parent and a child. Little Nutbrown Hare is preparing for bed and tries to express how much he loves his father by physical measurements. “I love you as high as I can hop.” In a playful back and forth game, father and son continue trying to explain how much they love each other. As Little Nutbrown Hare drifts off to sleep and mutters, “I love you all the way to the moon”. Big Nutbrown Hare waits until he is asleep and whispers, “I love you to the moon and back”. The soft water color illustrations and heartwarming story make this a perfect book to read with a loved one before bedtime. The pop up edition is wonderful. My kids loved interacting with it as we read the story. It ripped eventually as most pop ups do, but my kids still enjoyed playing with it and reading it again and again.

I am quite surprised by the number of negative reviews for this book. However, the negative ones appear to be based on shipping or used copies sold by other sellers. I would never buy a pop-up book used because that's just asking for trouble. If you really want this book, go for the new copy. You will be glad you did.This is a gorgeous book and a beautifully put together version of the story. It doesn't just pop up, you interact with the book. When little nut brown hare stretches his arms wide to show how much love, you actually pull a tab down to make the arms open, and then you also get to open big nut brown hare's arms. My child's favorite page is when big nut brown hare swings little nut brown hare up so the legs are at the top of the trees and turning the flap actually makes that happen. The end of the book is my favorite page because the illustration is just beautiful and big nut brown hare putting the little one to bed with the pull down flap is so sweet.If you are a fan of this book, you will not regret this purchase one bit! I will give a bit of caution though: store it up high and don't let the kids play with it! We keep this on a high shelf in the closet and only mom or dad are allowed to touch it. Obviously a toddler is going to yank too hard on the tabs and something will rip. That's just toddler behavior. If you don't want the book torn apart, don't let the toddler play with it. There really is no way to improve the quality to make it not rip. What do you expect from a book? If you want something toddler friendly, there is a board book version of this story.Bottom line - If you love this story, GET THIS BOOK! It would make an incredible gift as well! Even to just display a couple of the more 3-D scenery pages in a nursery with a bunny theme would be very cute. You won't be disappointed (unless you order a used copy, but seriously, don't do that, just buy it new!)

Best pop-up book ever!

I love giving this title to my grandkids. Great book, illustrations and story! Love it!

I got this book as a gift for my first born and now I get it for every baby shower. The story is of course so sweet but the pop up pictures and illustrations are so beautiful and just make the book such a magical read for kids.

The story of the Nutbrown Hares was one of the first story books I read together with my daughter at around 2 or 3. It had come with a little plush that she would animate to act out the story. A fantastic memory for us both. Her 30th birthday is today, and I got this pop-up version to invoke a bit of nostalgia and core memory. I adored the story and hope you take heed and get this beautiful book so that you may have great memories of time spent with little ones.

This book is gorgeous. It’s not for small children, they may tear it. But it is beautifully done and gives the child a truly fantastic book to share with Mommy or Daddy.

Love this book! I love the book in general but this pop up book in particular was perfect! I got it for my sisters baby shower and wanted everyone to sign it as a guest book. My guests refused to sign it since it was so nice!
