In Guess How Much I Love You, Little Nutbrown Hare loves Big Nutbrown Hare as far as he can reach and as high as he can hop. But Big Nutbrown Hare loves Little Nutbrown Hare as far as his long arms can reach and as high as his strong legs can hop. And so it continues with this adaptation of the award-winning classic from author Sam McBratney and illustrator Anita Jeram.
In I Love My Little Storybook, an eager little bunny lies on the grass and opens his book, and, within moments, the story he’s reading comes alive in fascinating detail. Internationally acclaimed Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia has adapted this story into an enduring celebration of the joy of reading.

It is Canada’s major exporter of theatre for family audiences.
