More Guess How Much I Love You ideas:

Read all about it. Don't forget how much fun it is to read this wonderful story out loud! Our new Big Book edition makes it especially exciting to read aloud to a group of children at story hour.

Act it out. Invite a group of children to act out the story afterward. Let one be the moon, and ask children how far away that person should stand.

I can. Little Nutbrown Hare is proud to show off all the things he can do. Invite children to show how high they can hop, how high they can reach, and how wide they can stretch their arms. Then ask, "What can you do now that you couldn't do before?"
