Now you and your child can enjoy this popular children's picture book in Chinese! An endearing nursery game is beautifully revitalized in this comforting, sleepy-time picture book, as Little Nutbrown Hare tests his father's love by declaring his own: "Guess how much I love you . . . This much." Author Jeram's double-page-spread watercolors are just right for the gentle competition that ensues as parent and child each avow affection in ever more expansive terms. Neither sugary nor too cartoonlike, the watercolors, in soft shades of brown and greens with delicate ink-line details, warmly capture the loving relationship between parent and child as well as the comedy that stems from little hare's awe of his wonderful dad. The story ends with a declaration of love so great it reaches "right up to the moon," and the little hare finally falls fast asleep. There's not a wrong note in this tender tale, which should become an enduring bedtime favorite--right up there with Goodnight Moon.
