Guess How Much I love You is an award winning book and has been translated into numerous languages. The story is about a little bunny rabbit and his father. They tell each other how much they love each other using larger and larger measures to quantify how much they love each other. It is simple and gripping. An enjoyable evening read!

Have you told your family how much you love them today?
