Go the F**K to Sleep by Adam Mansbach



Publishers Description:

Go 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 Cortes, Go the Fuck 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.

My Review:

Awesome book! I loved it! I understood what this parent was feeling. I am a mother of 2 and have felt those feelings more then once.

This is not a book to be read to a child! It is a book of humor more for the parent. Great book for a gift to another parent or for a baby shower.

Every parent should be able to sympathize with these feelings.

5 out of 5 stars
