Sam McBratney, by Guess How Much I love You

i absolutely love this book! my sister bought it for me b4 i even had my daughter and now she loves it as much as i do!

Comments from other mumsnetters:

A wonderful book that communicates to children that love - especially a parent's - is unquantifiable; it cannot be measured because it is so great". "Lovely illustrations with a great sentiment".

I LOVE this book!! It is so sweet, I bought it for my niece and she loved it so much I took her to the stage show when it was on tour.
Now the DVD of the stage show is out, and it's brilliant.
You can get it on Amazon. Has anyone else seen it?

This was one of dd's favourites when she was younger.

Cheesy but cute. Dads love it!

Very twee, illustration a bit wishy washy. Overhyped too. My dd has never once chosen to have this read to her.

We love this book. In fact, I always get a teeny bit teary when reading it :)

This was a brilliant book, best for 3-4 year old but the children in the nursery always ask for this
It is all about expressing your love for each other

beautiful book, highly recommended

This has been a firm favourite for my 2 oldest children. I am looking forward to repeating the tradition with my new baby. A classic, every family should have a copy!

We loe the illustrations as much as the story. ts a feelgood ead perfect for the end of the day.

I love reading this to my daughter. The illustrations are beautiful and it's perfect for cuddling up to and reading before bed. Lovely.

guess how much we love this book!
it's a really special moment - am currently reading it frequently with dd2 and dd1 has just read it in french at nursery school.

Both my dd's loved this book, dd1 now reads it to dd2. A really lovely book.

This is a fabulous book with such beautiful illustrations. I read it at bedtimes when we've had a particularly hard day - well it makes me feel better anyway!
He loves it at 10 months and has done since he was about 3 months.

brilliant book - extremely sweet way of making a child feel special as well as encouraging emotional expression and empathy with others. Particularly suitable for boys as the main character is male.

lovely book!a favorite in our house.my daughter now reads it to me but we still enjoy it.very sweet and lovely sentiment

10/10
one of my all time fave children's books - brought a lump to my throat on first reading, but in a good way.
it's so lovely & expresses perfectly the hugeness of a parent's love for their child.

Rate it a 10!
I have been reading this book to my son for three years and it still can bring a tear to my eye...how sappy is that?

Absolutely fabulous book. Only thing is we have to come up with bigger and better things - like i love you to the end of the universe...not that dd has any idea on what the universe really is......

A timeless classic. My daughter is 4 and we have been reading this to her since she was about a year old. She knows the words off by heart and can recite the book to us.
