Description
Go the F**k 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 F**k to Sleep is beautiful, subversive and pants-wettingly funny-a book for parents new, old and expectant. You probably should not read it to your children.
Extract
The cats nestle close to their kittens,
The lambs have laid down with the sheep.
You're cozy and warm in your bed, my dear.
Please go the f**k to sleep.
The windows are dark in the town, child.
The whales huddle down in the deep.
I'll read you one very last book if you swear
You'll go the f**k to sleep.
The eagles who soar through the sky are at rest
And the creatures who crawl, run, and creep.
I know you're not thirsty. That's bullshit. Stop lying.
Lie the f**k down, my darling, and sleep.

"A hilarious gift for new parents"
This book is irreverent, hilarious and oh so true, as all parents of young children will know. It's considered policitically incorrect to complain about the hardships of parenting, but this author says what all of us are thinking – sometimes you just wish they'd go the f**k to sleep!! Buy this for any new parents or parents with toddlers. Make sure you read the bit about the author on the back cover too. :)

"Hilarious Book for parents"
So lets not get confused here this book is NOT for kids at all anyone who
thinks it is really needs to have a think about it.
I found this so funny as a mother of 2 young children this is so true when you
are reading the kids to sleep at night time. i think any parent with a sense of
humour will love this book.

"Great Book"
This is such a great book. My brother is soon to be a father and I soon to be a uncle. I will be buying this book for him because I know him and his girlfriend will love the book and find it just as funny as I will because I am sure I will be babysitting and want the kid to go the F**K to sleep.

"Awesome unique baby shower gift"
Looks amazing, was so pleased the book came in hard cover. I know my friend will love this; I've already given her a ‘useable’ gift; I know this will give her and get husband a great laugh on the nights. This is very much the kind if humor we have together, and honestly couldn't be more impressed with delivery time and quality of the book.
