Bedtime Shadow Books

When we visited World of Mirth in Richmond a few weeks ago, we left with a book for Anouk that has become one of our new favorites. A "bedtime shadow book," this book is made up of pages that you shine a flashlight through to project the illustrations onto the ceiling. It's been a big help in getting A. excited about going to bed and for that I am very thankful.

The book we got is called Nighttime Fairies, but there was also one on constellations and one about sea creatures that looked fun (but maybe slightly scary for bedtime, for a toddler?) Anyway, the series includes a version of The Night Before Christmas! The perfect thing to add to our Picture Book Advent Calendar when we break it out for a few weeks, right?

What are your kids' bedtime favorites? Please let me know -- anything that would help smoothe that process would be great. :)

PS: You can find the complete list of Bedtime Shadow Books online here, but World of Mirth also takes phone orders if you'd rather support a great independent business!
