Guess How Much I Love You: Shapes

Inspired by the timeless storytelling of Sam McBratney, this winsome exploration of shapes set in the world of Guess How Much I Love You will delight the youngest of readers.

The round sun shines bright, but what shape does it make? How about that pointy pine tree, prickly and green? As Big Nutbrown Hare guides Little Nutbrown Hare in discovering the world around him, they hold up a daisy chain to make a square, examine a smooth stone that forms an oval, and cuddle together while gazing at a twinkly star in the sky.
