The #1 New York Times bestseller―a gift book for parents that will have them laughing even as they cry.
One of Reader’s Digest’s “25 Funniest Books of All Time”
“Nothing has driven home a certain truth about my generation, which is approaching the apex of its childbearing years, quite like this.” ―New Yorker
“A parenting zeitgeist” ―Washington Post
“A hilarious take on that age-old problem: getting the beloved child to go to sleep.” ―National Public Radio
“A new Bible for weary parents” ―New York Times
“Resonates powerfully with almost everyone” ―Boston Globe
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, they open up a conversation about parenting, granting us permission to admit our frustrations, and laugh at their absurdity.
With illustrations by Ricardo Cortés, Go the Fuck to Sleep is beautiful, subversive, and pants-wittingly funny―a book for parents new, old, and expectant. You probably should not read it to your children.

Just plain hilarious!
This writer is a genius! This was a perfect gag gift for my son and daughter-in-law who are managing to little tykes now. They absolutely loved it. Also happens to be a very high-quality product that is made well and should last until they pass it down to their kids. Recommend this purchase.

Naughty and real.
More for parents. Need to read it in a lilting voice to infants and edit it as they get older.
Kim –
Great adult/young parent humor
Definitely not keeping this storybook with the other childrenâs books due to the language. It is a great share with other young parents who can easily relate to the story/theme.

Frustrated
This book is for moms not getting enough sleep and feeling frustrated with life. It’s sarcasm that breaks the stress of taking care of younger kids
Tammy Vogel –
If the parents have a sense of humour this is perfect! Itâs honest. Itâs everything thatâs in someoneâs thoughts but donât say out loud. Definitely letâs you know youâre not alone on the adventure with crying babies! So funny well done!

He comprado este libro varias veces para algunos padres novatos. Normalmente cuando nuestros amigos van a tener un hijo o lo acaban de tener, les llevamos regalitos a los hijos. Pero: que hay de los padres? Este es el regalo perfecto, pues a pesar de ser un cuento, es un cuento para los padres.Te saca varias risas. Lo recomiendo!
