Summary

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， he opens up a conversation about parenting， granting us permission to admit our frustrations and laugh at their absurdities。

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。

Anastasia ，

lol loved it

Katie Haasch ，

Haha 😂 well as an aunt of many nieces and nephews I can relate。 Sometimes those kids just don’t want to sleep no matter what you do。

5stars I listened to the audiobook with Samuel L Jackson it was perfect！ I was appalled someone would write something like the but as I listened I laughed my ass off！ Putting my kids to sleep thinking these things but never voicing them！

I’m not a parent， but…。I found this hilarious。 I will definitely have to ask my book club moms if they’ve read this… I could actually hear them reading the book to me， lol。 This book came up on a banned books list， so I just had to read it as an appetizer for the upcoming Banned Books Week！

Ehkä nää toimii paremmin alkuperäiskielellä。 Periaatteessa hauska ja samastuin osittain， mut olisin varmaan kokenut enemmän "vittu kyllä！！"-fiiliksiä jos olisin lukenut tän ennen kuin oma lapsi täytti kolme ja alkoi nukkua kokonaisia öitä。 Niin se aika kultaa muistot ja karseimmat univelat ikinä unohtuu， ainakin tunnetasolla; nykyhetken hiustenrepimisaiheet aina vituttavimmat！ :'D Ehkä nää toimii paremmin alkuperäiskielellä。 Periaatteessa hauska ja samastuin osittain， mut olisin varmaan kokenut enemmän "vittu kyllä！！"-fiiliksiä jos olisin lukenut tän ennen kuin oma lapsi täytti kolme ja alkoi nukkua kokonaisia öitä。 Niin se aika kultaa muistot ja karseimmat univelat ikinä unohtuu， ainakin tunnetasolla; nykyhetken hiustenrepimisaiheet aina vituttavimmat！ :'D 。。。more

Andrey ，

You should pick the audiobook narrated by Samuel l。 Jackson

Book Monitor ，

If you have ever had a child you will recognise the feelings expressed here。 This is worth listening to。

Söpöjä riimejä， joiden välissä muutamat kiroukset ja ärrät。Tämä vaikutti tosi hauskalta idealta， mutta kirjan käännös on heikko。 Riimittely toimii vain silloin tällöin ja monesti pakolliset riimitykset on tosi väkinäisiä。 Kirjasta näkee tavallaan läpi alkuperäisen tekstin， joka varmasti on toiminut hyvin。Muutamia hauskoja kohtia， joten kyllähän tämän läpi lukaisee。 Lapsiperheelle myös samaistumisia， mutta tönkkö käännös vie paljon tunnelmaa pois。

Everyone's been thereShort and funny。 Anyone who has tried and failed to get a child to sleep can understand the feelings in this book， even if they don't condone the language。 Everyone's been thereShort and funny。 Anyone who has tried and failed to get a child to sleep can understand the feelings in this book， even if they don't condone the language。 。。。more

Funny and true

Tina Gioioso ，

Fun read for the parents， not so much for the children。 As an adult book though， it does a great job capturing the frustration parents feel when they have a difficult sleeper。

Riley ，

Great book， but now my daughter won’t stop saying the f word。 She’s 3， wish there was an edited version。Nice pictures though。

Katie Zuniga ，

Read multiple times。 Does not encourage child to sleep but at least I know I’m not alone。

Piyush Sharma ，

Lol！ This is just funny。 Though not being a parent， I could fully relate the pain and frustration of narrator who finds it hard to make her baby sleep。 Baby will do everything except sleep and who is gonna pay the price - parents。 A quick funny read。

Are you looking for an original bedtime story？This one's maybe not really suited for children， but all the more for their parents！Although the latter are probably the intended public， even people who don't have children will definitely be able to enjoy this humorous gem。The book is written by Adam Mansbach and illustrated by Ricardo Cortés。Personally， I haven't read it （yet）。Instead - at the suggestion of Claudia （thank you！） - I listened to the version narrated by Samuel L。 Jackson。The text in Are you looking for an original bedtime story？This one's maybe not really suited for children， but all the more for their parents！Although the latter are probably the intended public， even people who don't have children will definitely be able to enjoy this humorous gem。The book is written by Adam Mansbach and illustrated by Ricardo Cortés。Personally， I haven't read it （yet）。Instead - at the suggestion of Claudia （thank you！） - I listened to the version narrated by Samuel L。 Jackson。The text in rhyme is well done and gives the story a sort of lullaby rhythm。Even though Samuel L。 Jackson isn't one of my favourite actors， it must be said that he did a marvellous job narrating this one。 He really brings the story alive and makes you able to picture every scene in your head。Want to give it a try？Head over to: https://www。youtube。com/watch？v=teIbh。。。Make sure to listen till the end 😉 。。。more

Funny， not for children。。。in case you need to be told！

Cathy ，

Laugh the F**k Out LoudNot sure if the kids understand this but it sure gave my partner a good laugh while reading it to the baby。

Alex ，

"I know you’re not thirsty。 That’s bullshit。 Stop lying。 Lie the fuck down， my darling， and sleep。"Loved it。 😂😂😂 "I know you’re not thirsty。 That’s bullshit。 Stop lying。 Lie the fuck down， my darling， and sleep。"Loved it。 😂😂😂 。。。more

Lani Mokler ，

The ONLY way to read this book is the audio book narrated by Samuel L Jackson！ This book says what every parent thinks， but only some are willing to admit。

Delaney Stacy ，

Hahahahaha it is AWESOMEE

Mirely ，

Obviously not a book for the littles but more for the tired parents that need a few hours left in the day to themselves but have to put down the littles that want to bleed every little second of the day/night that's humanly possible。 The graphics were nice and the story。。。 can relate， can relate， can relate。 I don't think it's the most hilarious but it was okay。 Obviously not a book for the littles but more for the tired parents that need a few hours left in the day to themselves but have to put down the littles that want to bleed every little second of the day/night that's humanly possible。 The graphics were nice and the story。。。 can relate， can relate， can relate。 I don't think it's the most hilarious but it was okay。 。。。more
