Summary from Walker Books
Four new Guess How Much I Love You stories in one volume – The Hiding
Tree, On Cloudy Mountain, The Far Field, Coming Home – featuring
adventurous Little Nutbrown Hare and wise Big Nutbrown Hare. In the
stories we see Little Nutbrown Hare beginning to explore the world with
the help and guidance of Big Nutbrown Hare. He climbs the Hiding Tree, escapes from the mists on Cloudy Mountain and ventures to the Far Field on his own. But after all his adventures Little Nutbrown Hare finds that Coming Home is best of all, because Big Nutbrown Hare is there.
Nayuleska's thoughts
Aww!
I love this series ever so much - hares (ok it's actually bunnies) are
popular in my family. There's such gentleness in the way Big Nutbrown
Hare protects, guides and watches over Little Nutbrown Hare. They play
together, discover scary elements of the weather together, all before
going to their favourite place in the world. I thought the way the final
tale linked in the previous 3 stories was clever. I like the soft fresh
illustrations which add to the warm fuzzy feeling I get from reading
this 10/10 read.
Suggested read
A similarly sweet bunny read is When the World Was Waiting For You by Gillian Shields & Anna Currey
