Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia presents Guess How Much I Love You and I Love My Little Storybook, adapted, directed and designed by Jim Morrow, music by Steven Naylor, and narrated by Beau Bridges.
Little Nutbrown Hare loves Big Nutbrown Hare as far as he can reach and as high as he can hop. But Big Nutbrown Hare loves him as far as his long arms can reach and as high as his strong legs can hop. And so it continues in the Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia’s adaptation of Guess How Much I Love You, the award-winning classic from author Sam McBratney and illustrator Anita Jeram.
In I Love My Little Storybook, an eager little bunny lies on the grass and opens his book. Within moments, the story he’s reading is alive in fascinating detail. From illustrator Anita Jeram comes this endearing celebration of the joy of reading.
