oh, heck, anyone who has ever known a young child will understand the impetus behind Adam Mansbach’s runaway bestseller and ‘children’s book for adults.'” “Anyone who has ever had a newborn, an infant, a baby, a toddler, a preschooler. For the exhausted parent, nudged to the brink of sanity by lack of sleep, Go the Fuck to Sleep is more than a reason to snigger-it’s a gesture of compassion.” “The bracing language may be earning it headlines, but its true appeal-and, I suspect, the reason it has caught on with the toddler-terrorised masses-lies in its unapologetic acknowledgment that early parenthood is a struggle, a state defined as often by frustration as delight.
Exhausted by his own daughter Vivien’s tedious two-hour bedtime routine, Adam penned a would-be bedtime book that speaks the mind of beleaguered parents everywhere and the difficulties of getting your child to ‘ Go the Fuck to Sleep.'” “Adam Mansbach’s Go the Fuck to Sleep is the most controversial picture book on the shelves. “By any definition, the subversive Go the Fuck to Sleep - in which a desperate father cajoles his child to please, please, slip off into dreamland - is a real game changer it lets frazzled parents vicariously enjoy chastising their stubborn offspring with well-placed profanity while never uttering a harsh word aloud.” Well, in that spirit comes this perfect little picture-book parody.” It’s especially the case when the profanity puts words to common feelings that we aren’t really allowed to own up to. “Perfectly timed, lightly applied touches of profanity are funny. is a lullaby that has been darkly and hilariously undercut with threat.” “Nothing has driven home a certain truth about my generation, which is approaching the apex of its childbearing years, quite like this deranged book.” A phenomenon that has stunned the publishing world and may just redefine the modern ‘parenting’ market.” One of Reader’s Digest‘s 25 Funniest Books of All Time! A New York Times,, Wall Street Journal, and Publishers Weekly number one best seller.
