Go the Fuck to Sleep

"Nothing has driven home a certain truth about my generation, which is approaching the apex of its childbearing years, quite like this."<br>--"The New Yorker" <br>"A parenting zeitgeist"<br>--"Washington Post" <br>"A hilarious take on that age-old problem: getting the beloved child to go to sleep."<br>--National Public Radio <br>"A new Bible for weary parents"<br>--"New York Times" <br>"Resonates powerfully with almost everyone"<br>--"Boston Globe" <br>"Go the F*** 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. <br>With illustrations by Ricardo Cortes, "Go the F*** 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. <br>"Seriously, Just Go to Sleep, " a children's book inspired by "Go the F*** to Sleep" and appropriate for kids of all ages, is forthcoming from Akashic Books in April 2012 and available NOW for pre-order.
