I Love You All Year Round: Four Classic Guess How Much I Love You Stories

Little readers can love the Nutbrown Hares from spring to summer to fall to winter—and back—with this gorgeous, reissued collection of four sweet stories.

When seeds, plants, and other creatures begin to change in the spring, Little Nutbrown Hare has lots of questions, including wondering what he will turn into one day. By summer, he notices colors everywhere—lovely greens, reds, and blues—but there’s one color he likes best of all. In autumn, the wind sends leaves flying, inspiring some hiding and chasing—and a funny surprise for Big Nutbrown Hare. And when wintertime comes, Little Nutbrown Hare makes a discovery: that “I Spy” is especially fun to play in the snow. Returning to shelves with a charming new cover, this collection of simple, endearing tales, starring two of the world’s most beloved characters, is perfect for sharing with little hares any time of year.
