Plot summary
Guess How Much I Love You follows the story of two hares, Big Nutbrown Hare and Little Nutbrown Hare. It does not state that they are father and son, but it is implied. Little Nutbrown Hare asks Big Nutbrown Hare the question, "Guess how much I love you?". The book continues as the two use larger and larger measures to quantify how much they love each other.

In 2007, two additional Nutbrown Hare books were published: When I'm Big: A Guess How Much I Love You Storybook and Colors Everywhere: A Guess How Much I Love You Storybook, later released as a set. In 2008, Let's Play in the Snow: A Guess How Much I Love You Storybook was published. In 2009, A Surprise for the Nutbrown Hares: A Guess How Much I Love You Storybook was published. The Adventures of Little Nutbrown Hare, a 72-page, four-story compilation, was released in August 2012. It features the tales "The Hiding Tree", "On Cloudy Mountain", "The Far Field", and "Coming Home". Its illustrations were provided by Andy Wanger and Debbie Tarbett, "in the style of Anita Jeram".
