"Sometimes, when you love someone very, very much, you want to find a way of describing how great your feelings are. But, as Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare discover, love is not an easy thing to measure!"
After visiting Big Bad Wolf Book Sale for the 2nd (or 3rd?) time (year), Mom successfully found this book. This book is irresistibly attractive to parents who want to tell and to show how much they love their children despite of their differences and busyness. And, vice versa, children will realize how much they love their parents, too.
Both of Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare try to tell how much they love for each other. They use various measurements and comparisons. While Big Nutbrown Hare is always steps ahead, Little Nutbrown Hare becomes a bit devastated to show Big Nutbrown Hare that he loves him more.
Mom loves how neat the book is, its soft palette illustrations. Also, its classic and warm-hearted story. Sabio always smile in....a.....very.....sweet....way...every time he listen to the story.

"Terkadang, ketika kamu sangat mencintai seseorang, kamu ingin menemukan cara untuk menggambarkan betapa hebatnya perasaanmu. Tetapi, seperti yang Little Nutbrown Hare dan Big Nutbrown Hare temukan, cinta bukanlah hal yang mudah untuk diukur!"
Setelah mengunjungi bazar buku Big Bad Wolf (BBW) untuk ke-2 (atau ke-3?) kalinya (1x/tahun), Mama berhasil menemukan buku ini. Ceritanya sangat menarik bagi orangtua yang ingin memberitahu dan menunjukkan betapa mereka mencintai anak-anak mereka meskipun mereka tidak selalu sama dan sibuk. Dan, sebaliknya, anak-anak akan menyadari betapa mereka mencintai orangtua mereka juga.
Baik Little Nutbrown Hare dan Big Nutbrown Hare mencoba memberi tahu betapa mereka saling mencintai. Mereka menggunakan berbagai macam pengukuran dan perbandingan. Sementara Big Nutbrown Hare selalu selangkah lebih maju, Little Nutbrown Hare menjadi sedikit putus asa untuk menunjukkan kepada Big Nutbrown Hare bahwa dia lebih mencintainya.
Ibu suka betapa rapi buku ini, ilustrasi paletnya yang lembut. Juga, kisahnya yang klasik dan hangat. Sabio selalu tersenyum....dengan.....sangat.....manis...., setiap kali ia mendengarkan Mama membacakan cerita ini.
Info: bought at Big Bad Wolf Book Sale.
