How to Throw a WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE Baby Shower
Planning a baby shower for a member of your book club, a children’s book enthusiast, or a parent who enjoys a “wild rumpus” over the run-of-the-mill Sunday afternoon at 2:00 baby shower?

We have compiled a list of all of the things that you need to host a Wild Things bash that even Max may want to attend.
