Customer Reviews

Sweetest little book ever
First of all, the illustrations are beautiful. Secondly, this is the most basic story representing a child wanting to express the deep emotion of love for a parent. It's priceless (and funny)! The story itself is a collector's item and the red cover with the illustration just makes it more so. I'm really glad I bought this one.

Very cute story
This is a very cute story of the love between a father and his son... I actually bought this and presented it to my partner as a Valentine's day gift. I changed the names and the gender so that 'he' became 'she' and 'his' became 'hers' and it was a hit (Well it worked for me as she absolutely loved it!!!)

The story itself would appeal to young readers around 6-7 years of age. My daughters both love it!!!

Amazing book, special edition
"Guess How Much I Love You" has always been my daughter's favorite childhood book. It is beautifully written and offers an ageless message. When she graduated from high school this past summer, I was looking for a special gift and definitely found it in the Sweetheart Edition of "Guess How Much I Love You". It is bound in a gorgeous red binding and offers a special section for the giver to place a personal note to the receipient. My daughter was thrilled to receive it and says she will cherish it always.
