I Can Be Anything by Shinsuke Yoshitake
This book is a hilarious read that both parents and children can get a laugh out of. When it's time for bed a little girl wants to play a game of charades with her mother. The exhausted mother attempts to guess increasingly interesting charades characters. This is a fun read, and could inspire your own charades night! (Though hopefully not right before bed.)
