'A gentle, playful story and I can see this being a big hit with fans of the first book, or even people who are new to the world of children's books.' Toppsta Reviewer

'very sweet board book with a lovely theme about friendship. My nearly 4 year old enjoyed the story, especially when the two hares dig themselves a big hole! A nice example of friendship and making fun games together in the outdoors.' Toppsta Reviewer

'What a beautiful book to share about the importance of friends. The illustrations are lovely and the quality of the book is so nice. Would definitely recommend.' Toppsta Reviewer

'A delightful reunion with beloved characters Little and Big Nutbrown Hare from "Guess How Much I Love You." The book captivated my little one with its beautiful illustrations. Through the adorable little hare's adventures, I found it a great way to make my son aware of his own reflections and shadows, adding a layer of introspection to the narrative.' Toppsta Reviewer

'If you enjoyed the original then this will not disappoint. It is lovely to see the familiar characters back but this time on the hunt for a new friend.' Toppsta Reviewer

'Charming really is the word for this, smiles were had at the playful fun the two young hares have together, and at the sweet ending. There isn't too much text for the youngest at bedtime, and it's a lovely little lesson about exploring, making friends and finding common ground.' Toppsta Reviewer
