We haven't had a Start Name for a few weeks, so when a new one was revealed this past Monday, there was a lot of excitement. Even more excitement than usual actually, because TWO Star Names were revealed!

For Wild Things:

- What books do you like?
- Why do you like the monsters?
- What do you like for food and snack?
