Description

The 1 New York Times bestseller―a gift book for parents that will have them laughing even as they cry. One of Reader's Digest's "25 Funniest Books of All Time" "Nothing has driven home a certain truth about my generation, which is approaching the apex of its childbearing years, quite like this." ―New Yorker"A parenting zeitgeist" ―Washington Post"A hilarious take on that age- old problem: getting the beloved child to go to sleep." ―National Public Radio"A new Bible for weary parents" ―New York Times"Resonates powerfully with almost everyone" ―Boston GlobeGo the Fuck to Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don't always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland. Profane, affectionate, and radically honest, California Book Award–winning author Adam Mansbach's verses perfectly capture the familiar―and unspoken―tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. In the process, they open up a conversation about parenting, granting us permission to admit our frustrations, and laugh at their absurdity.With illustrations by Ricardo Cortés, Go the Fuck to Sleep is beautiful, subversive, and pants- wittingly funny―a book for parents new, old, and expectant. You probably should not read it to your children. Read more

  • FUNNY FOR NEW PARENTS!
This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen! I have been buying copies for new parents for several years now. Imagine Morgan Freeman reading this (or look up on YouTube). It will make you laugh so much! Very soothing when read - except of course when the F word appears - but good for new parents for sure ... show more

  • Just plain hilarious!
This writer is a genius! This was a perfect gag gift for my son and daughter-in-law who are managing to little tykes now. They absolutely loved it. Also happens to be a very high-quality product that is made well and should last until they pass it down to their kids. Recommend this purchase.

  • Go The F to Sleep
Original Review From August 7, 2015 This story is just funny, and a lot of parents can relate to the frustration of trying to get your precious little one to just go to sleep. The audio version, read by Samuel L. Jackson who was perfect, gave a little interview prior to the reading. It is definitely not one for the kiddos, but it’s worth a listen/read. My husband and I listened to it (ironically) after we put our son down for bed…the book does ring so true. Anyway, it’s funny, and worth the price to own. I hope you pick it up and enjoy! ... show more
