My parents were recently in Boston, where the book is set--and brought it back for Eloise. The story and illustrations are lovely... a true children's classic I'm glad she has on her growing bookshelf!
A Make Way for Ducklings party! The details are all so cute... however, let's pause to examine that is a baby gender reveal party. Where you had to wear pink or blue to represent your guess. Wha? (Can you imagine getting an invite to that? A bit much and you know, I'm really in a baby-centric place.) But we will note the mom-to-be is an event planner so I'll allow it. Still, all the little touches are really inspiring for a baby shower. You can view the whole event and feel bad about any crepe paper decorations you ever used at a party here. It's quack-tastic.
