Guess How Much I Love You was a picture book written by Sam McBratney and illustrated by Anita Jeram. The story is about a young rabbit named little nutbrown hare who is determined to show his mother how much he loves her. Throughout the story he and his mother embark on a little competition to see who loves who more.
The illustrations in the book contain light warm watercolors. This book is definitely a good book for really young readers as it is a good tool with encouraging them to express their feelings.
I would read this story out loud to my students and ask them questions like:
- How much do you love your parents?
- What kinds of ways did Little Nutbrown Hare show his love for his mother?
- How do you show your parents how much you love them?
A motivational activity I would do with my students is have them all stand up together and practice different they can show how much they love their parents using their arms and legs. Also, each student can make his or her parents a card that tells them how much they love them.
Sam McBratney has been writing children's books for more than thirty years. Some of his other works include Just You and Me, Guess How Much I Love You In The Summer, and Let's Play In The Snow.
