Jennifer Adams' book, Baby Showers, "gives you everything you need to know to throw the perfect baby shower," according to the author.

The book includes ideas for invitations, decorations, activities, and favors, as well as 50 recipes for snacks. "The little things make a big difference," says Adams. She also includes a timeline for planning a shower and a list of children's books that make appropriate gifts for the expectant mother.
