15 Perfect Bedtime Stories For Kids to Add to Your Nightly Routine

"Round is a Mooncake: A Book of Shapes" ($8)

Sometimes, the best adventures with children happen in our own neighborhoods, not some far-flung locale. "Round Is a Mooncake: A Book of Shapes," written by Roseanne Thong and illustrated by Grace Lin, epitomizes this idea. The young protagonist uses the world around her to discover shapes from square dim sum, rectangular Chinese lace, and a very special pencil case. The slow-paced book is ideal for a wind-down.
