Guess How Much I Love You My Baby Book Review

Guess How Much I Love You has certainly branched out into a whole business all of its own, hasn’t it? It’s now also a baby’s first memory book, and it is absolutely lovely.

Based on the book, the Guess How Much I Love You My Baby Book is a hard cover, 45-page book that retails for £9.99 (although I bought it at Sainsbury’s for £3 and have seen it on Amazon for £6.79).  It is themed to the book throughout, with beautiful illustrations and lines from the book strategically placed – for example on the ‘My First Footprints’ page, the picture with the rabbit standing on his hands is shown, with the text “Guess how much everyone loved me.  All the way up to my toes.”

Information wise, there’s loads to record. Everything from the standard, “my mother’s name” and “my father’s name” to move obscure and unusual bits, like “Other News” which has space for the name of the prime minister at the time, other world leaders, some hit songs and some famous athletes. There’s space to write what a newspaper costs, as well as a cinema ticket and a bottle of milk. You can even stick a postage stamp in to show what they look like in baby’s first months.

There are boxes throughout for photographs of baby, family and so on, spaces for foot prints and first and second birthday pictures.

At the back there are also four pages for other ‘special memories’ of things said and done.

The Guess How Much I Love You My Baby Book is absolutely gorgeous, would make an amazing gift and will be a treasured keepsake.

Let’s Play! Guess How Much I Love You Book, Board Game And DVD £7.99 @ The Works

Let’s Play! Guess How Much I Love You Book, Board Game And DVD £7.99 @ The Works

The ‘Guess How Much I Love You’ Book, Board Game and DVD from The Works is currently on sale for £7.99 instead of £20.

There really is not a huge amount of information available on line about the game that sprung from the story it was named after. While we love the story, I’m not sure about the game, since there’s little to no insight into it!

According to BoardGameGeek.com it is a matching and pantomime game for young children. The object of the game is to find the matching cards for your game board, while imitating the motions on the cards. When all the boards are completed everyone wins. Looking at the pictures though, I don’t think it’s the same game!

This one comes with a board for up to 4 players and an animated DVD of the story, narrated by Kevin Whateley. Contents include 1 game board, 1 spinner, 4 character stands, 4 pieces, 28 cards and rules sheet.

At £7.99, it should make some little fan of the story quite happy!

Guess How Much I Love You Board Book £3.18 @ Amazon

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 5 June, 2011 at 12:00 pm

Guess How Much I Love You Board Book £3.18 @ AmazonGuess How Much I Love You is one of my favourite childrens' stories of ALL time and Amazon are selling the board book version for £3.18,  instead of £4.99

The Guess How Much I Love You story, along with its illustrations, are SO beautiful they almost make my heart ache with joy.

I know what it feels like to try and tell someone just HOW much you love them; there just aren't enough words, or ways, to quantify it!  In Guess How Much I Love You, Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare discover that love isn’t something you can easily measure.

What I can easily measure is just how much I LOVE this book.

There are  various different versions of Guess How Much I Love you - paperback, a sweetheart edition but this one is the board book version which makes it perfect for young hands just getting to grips with turning pages.

I must confess to being rather tempted to buy the sweetheart edition of Guess How Much I Love You just for me (I think I'm a bit grown up for board books now), just to keep, just to look at, just to fall in love with all over again.

You know my Amazon delivery spiel by now, you don't need me to keep saying it over and over do you?

Happy love guessing!
