Guess How Much I Love You: The Adventures of Little Nutbrown Hare

One morning in the early Springtime, Little Nutbrown Hare wakes to find the air filled with a delightful smell. He and Little Field Mouse search all over the meadow, the woods and by the riverside to find the source of the wonderful smell. They discover all kinds of new and unexpected Spring scents… sweet, pretty and fresh, but will they find the one they are searching for?

Little Nutbrown Hare watches as Blue Bird’s eggs hatch into three happy, chirpy baby birds. Fascinated and charmed by these youngsters, he visits them every day and even helps teach them to sing, play and fly. But how will he feel when Summer is on its way and they are ready to fly the nest and make homes of their own?

It’s Spring blossom season and the pretty pink blossoms that come floating down the stream remind Big Nutbrown Hare of a magnificent cherry tree from his youth. He sets off cross- country to find it, with Little Nutbrown Hare and Little Field Mouse, but the journey is longer and harder than he remembered. Will the blossoms floating downstream give them a clue as to a shorter way home?

Little Nutbrown Hare and his friends go on a hunt for treasure in the meadow and collect all kinds of unique gems like flowers, feathers, apples and egg-shells.

Luckily, Big Nutbrown Hare is not far behind to collect the lost treasure as well as follow its trail to find his son.

Little Nutbrown Hare and Little Field Mouse innocently pick lots of Spring flowers from a field and deliver bunches to their friends. When they realise that they are being followed everywhere by a cloud of yellow butterflies, they realise that the butterflies need the flowers, to feed from their nectar. How will they lead the little butterflies to more flowers and sweet nectar?

One clear Spring night, Little Nutbrown Hare and Little Field Mouse settle in to enjoy Little White Owl’s story of adventure and treasures. Inspired by her tale, the two set out to try and touch the most special treasure of all – a shiny star. They climb higher and higher but the beautiful stars seem just out of reach. Will they find a way to get their wish?

Little Nutbrown Hare befriends a little yellow fluffy creature by the river, and it follows him everywhere, quacking and copying his every move. It’s too little to speak and doesn’t look like any creature Little Nutbrown Hare or his friends have seen before. How will he return it to its parents if he doesn’t know what kind of creature it is?

When Little Nutbrown Hare sees Blue Bird building a nest, he thinks it looks like fun, so he and Little Field Mouse build one themselves. But it's a bit too scratchy and tickly for them to get comfortable in. They give it to their friends to try out, but they also find it not quite right. Will anybody find their nest cozy and useful?

Big Nutbrown Hare teaches Little Nutbrown Hare and his friends to play hide-and-seek, but the boisterous little hare finds it hard to stay still and quiet, especially when the Spring meadow is full of birds, butterflies and lizards to chase. When he does manage to stay still and quiet he finds the creatures of the meadow come to him… even very shy ones.

Little Nutbrown Hare finds a very special feather with bright colours, spots and soft tickly bits. Just as he shows off to his friends how it can fly and float, a cheeky bird flies away with it. Little Grey Squirrel climbs her tree and discovers the bird using it to feather her nest. Will Little Nutbrown Hare find a way to get his feather back, or will he decide that the bird needs it more than he does?

One Spring morning a cute spotty ladybird lands on Little Nutbrown Hare and seems to want to stay with him. All his friends admire the interesting little creature and he feels very special indeed. When she eventually flies away Little Nutbrown Hare follows her, wanting her back. But he understands why she left when he discovers she has lots of tiny spotty babies.

It is a sunny Spring day in the meadow and Little Nutbrown Hare is enjoying all it has to offer. As the day wears on a heavy grey cloud forces Little Nutbrown Hare and Little Field Mouse to seek shelter from the rain. Will the friends let a little water ruin their fun or will they discover that rainy days can be just as exciting.

Little Nutbrown Hare is disappointed when a trail of ants disappears with the delicious Spring berries he’s found. He’s convinced that ants are not very nice, and only after Big Nutbrown Hare explains how the ants were probably taking the berries home to their families does Little Nutbrown Hare forgive them. And when he sees how clever the ants are, he soon wants to be like them.

The Summer meadow is home to a many amazing treasures of nature. When Little Nutbrown Hare finds a beautiful blue butterfly, he and Little Field Mouse go on a hunt for other blue treasures to bring back and show Big Nutbrown Hare, including blueberries, blue bells and even blue eggshells. Meanwhile, Big Nutbrown Hare has discovered the biggest blue treasure of them all. What could it be?

Little Nutbrown Hare wakes early one Summer morning before the sun has risen. Big Nutbrown Hare sends Little Nutbrown Hare off to invite his friends for breakfast so he can rest a little longer. Along the way Little Nutbrown Hare discovers how wonderful and different all his friends homes are. Will Little Nutbrown Hare still love his own home as much as he did?

Little Nutbrown Hare decides he wants a clever long tail like his friends, rather than a short fluffy one. They help out by making him a long tail but all the results are either too tickly, bendy or flappy. When Big Nutbrown Hare spots his son from way across a grassy field everyone realizes that Little Nutbrown Hare’s little tail is clever in its own way.

One Summer’s day Little Field Mouse is very excited to show Little Nutbrown Hare her new favourite thing, a very pretty flower… the prettiest ever! She lets Little Nutbrown Hare borrow it to show Big Nutbrown Hare, but when it blows away during the night Little Nutbrown Hare worries how his friend will react. Will he be able to work up the courage to tell her what happened?

Trying to keep cool on a sticky Summer’s day by the stream, Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare have lots of fun skipping stones and throwing sticks. When Little Nutbrown Hare discovers that sticks float, the two follow the sticks down the river to see where they go. It’s not an easy chase, and there is a surprise around every corner. Where will the sticks end up?

Summer is at its hottest and Little Nutbrown Hare and Little Field Mouse want to run and play but the sun is just too hot and strong. That’s until Little Grey Squirrel gives them both a wonderful present, big leafy parasols. When he later changes his mind and takes Little Nutbrown Hare’s parasol back, the little hare is naturally disappointed. Can the friends find a way for all of them to be happy?

Summer in the meadow is a great time to find tasty snacks to eat. Big Nutbrown Hare seems to know all the best tricks and hiding spots for the yummy treats and Little Nutbrown Hare can’t help but wish he was as big and smart as his father. However, he soon finds out that there are some things a little Nutbrown Hare can teach a Big Nutbrown Hare.

Little Nutbrown Hare tries to jump high enough to reach a last Autumn apple on a high branch. Unable to reach it, even with the help of Little Field Mouse, he gives up. But after watching some little salmon struggling to swim up a waterfall he decides to ‘think like a fish’ and try, try, try again until he reaches the tasty prize.
