Go the Fuck to Sleep


Go the Fuck to Sleep by Adam Mansbach is an adult parody of children's bedtime stories. It is written in verse, and there are illustrations that, while sometimes sweet, I also think are borderline creepy. Which kind of works.

I'm not a parent, but I have had a lot of experience with young children, and while I did not use the word "fuck" back in the days when I used to babysit, the sentiment of "go the fuck to sleep already" was definitely sometimes there, so I think I can safely say that anyone who has had the frustration of trying to get a child to stay in bed and go to sleep will appreciate the humor in this book.
