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。
