Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare cross a river and what do they see?  A fish making a splash and a beaver nibbling on a stick.  From there, they hop to a farm and explore their way through the countryside in this lively board book inspired by the beloved, Guess How Much I Love You.  Each page invites children to flip, peek and discover a brand-new place right alongside Little Nutbrown Hare.  

I love the mixture of baby animals with their mothers and the soft illustrations by Anita Jeram are gorgeous.  Little Nutbrown Hare spy's swans gliding on the water, a mouse nibbling on a blackberry, and piglets playing by the fence.  There's a new surprise waiting on each page.  The seasons even change from a bustling stream in the spring to the snowy adventure of climbing Cloudy Mountain, ending in a beautiful night sky sprinkled with twinkling stars.  It's a joyful reminder that nature is full of wonders, animals, insects and plants waiting to be found when you slow down and look.  With spring around the corner, this would make a lovely book to read aloud together.

**A huge thank you to Candlewick Press for the book in exchange for an honest review**
