Tired of saying "Nutbrown Hare"
There are more enjoyable books out there to read to your children. I stopped reading this book because I was so sick of saying Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare.
6 stars for Illustrator Anita Jeram
When read to a baby, this story is admittedly more for the parent's benefit, and it is hugely endearing. Never fear, it is also a great book to read with older toddlers, since at that age (4/5), children are starting to exaggerate and tell tall tales. In either case, sharing love and spending time together is always a good thing. The father-son motif is particularly nice as it is less often seen in children's literature.
Personally I do not see the negative angle (competitive love) but I will not fault other parents for deciding this is not the right one for them. Books can speak to people in different ways. I do not love everything from Dr. Seuss yet some would say (unfairly) that makes me crazy.
Anyway, we have both the First board book edition of 1996 (actually, two copies of that), as well as the hardcover (First U.S. edition, 1995). The hardcover is easy for everyone to see when reading together and really shows Big Nutbrown Hare to best effect. The board book is handy for on-the-go or for the kids to look at themselves, although it does lose a few great illustrations.
Great Service!
I received my book in great condition and in much less time than anticipated! Would definitely recommend to a friend!
