A Reader’s Digest “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.”–The 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”This children’s book parody earns its place on the list by being a much-needed bit of catharsis that every parent needs.”–Fatherly, one of the 10 Best Parenting Books of the Decade”Go the F**k to Sleep challenges stereotypes, opens up prototypes, and acknowledges that shared sense of failure that comes to all parents who weary of ever getting their darling(s) to sleep and briefly resuming the illusion of a life of their own.”–Midwest Book ReviewGo the F**k 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 Cortes, Go the F**k 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.Seriously, Just Go to Sleep, a children’s book inspired by Go the F**k to Sleep and appropriate for kids of all ages, is also available, as well as Seriously, You Have to Eat for finicky ones everywhere!

I suppose I should start with – This is NOT a childrens bedtime book! It is a book for parents whose children refuse to go to sleep! I was shocked to find that some reviewers, apparently completely forgot to read the title of the book before purchasing. Subsequently, they also seem to have been horrificly ambushed by the fact that they have absolutely no sense of humor. For those parents who do have a sense of humor and who may not find profanity particularly offensive and who live in the real world. And have real kids. This book is definitely a 3am win!That being said…This is a totally F-ing amazing book! It’s real, overworked, frustrated beyond belief, about to loose your mind at 3am, inner parent monologue. I originally bought it for a friend who was having some serious issues getting her little one to sleep. She called me after one particularly rough night & thanked me profusely for giving her the book. I guess it’s nice to know that you’re not alone in your child’s bedtime struggles. It may not actually be all your fault and you may have a relatively normal child & are not in fact a horrible parent. A little laughter, and vulgar support, can go an awfully long way. I’ve since given it as a gift many times. I plan on continuing to gift it as long as the people around me continue to not learn from the couple before them and keep having babies. Who then refuse to sleep. And so on & so forth.*If you haven’t already you MUST Google the celebrity reads of this book! Jennifer Garner & Samuel L. Jackson are laugh out loud funny. Samuel L. Jackson should narrate a book for every single stage of life, from being born to the grave. We’d come in & go out laughing! This book is one that will be shared from one exhausted, fed up, delusional, red eyed, sleep deprived parent to another. ‘Cause sometimes all you can do is F-ing laugh. At yourself and at each other. Also, the pictures are really beautiful.
it’s really not as funny as all these reviews would have you believe, it gets annoyingly repetitive very quickly. Hard to say I’d read it again. Wasted $15 for a few lines, none of which got a laugh out of me. BS positive reviews.
I bought the book out of curiosity. Obviously this book is a total gag book and I cant imagine anyone reading this to a child. That being said, there was some humor in the authors sentiment about his child pulling out every excuse in not going to sleep! The other thing I disliked is that the author uses the Lords name in vain. The book was inexpensive so I got it, like I said out of curiosity and then I discarded the book. I might add that I am not a person who cusses so I am biased in that regard.
A very funny book that did not need to use God’s name as a swear word. It was supposed to be a gift but I am glad I decided to read it first. I obviously do not have a problem with swearing and was really enjoying the book until I got to that page.
This book is hilarious. I love to give it for baby shower gifts. It’s also great for those nights when I am just incredibly tired and my beautiful baby boy just can’t settle down for story time.
This book is DEFINITELY a conversation piece for any of those with newborn babies. Bonus: there is a YouTube read-a-long version with Samuel L Jackson (highly recommend).Update: book does NOT put our little one to sleep but it is a fun read. We even ordered one for a friend!
I’ve now bought this book for two of my friends. One for his first child and one for his second child. This is clearly not meant to be read to the children, and is more for the parents to get a good laugh. It’s very relatable to anyone who has tried to put a child to sleep and it turns in to a battle of wills. Laughter is the best medicine, and this book is full of it. Be sure to also watch the video of Sam L Jackson reading it on YouTube as it is quite humorous as well.
This is the BEST BABY SHOWER GIFT EVER- If the parents-to-be have a good personality! This and a DNA test and your the hit of the baby shower! I laughed throughout this whole book, it was hysterical!! I honestly think it’s worth the money, one may beg to differ but my whole family got a kick out of it. It’s a cute book with lots of laughs. Can you read it to your kids? Who am I to judge, you have to answer to that man above, well that or social services but whoever you answer to, just know that it was worth the risk. 😂😂
I bought this for my sister who is the proud owner of 9 month old twins. The twins don’t yet understand what curse words are, so this book is perfect for keeping my sister sane while trying to get the little darlings to actually go to the land of nod, preferably at the same time and for the same length of time. As it was her choice to have babies and not mine, I can’t vouch for how successful this book is in actually getting said babies to go to sleep, since bedtime chores are her domain, and my role as auntie is to enjoy singing songs and playing with them; handing back at the first sign of tears or nappy filling.However, it was worth buying this as a gift just to see my sisters little face on opening it, and to hear her laugh in a slightly strained way, and to see her eyes fill with something like hope at the prospect that this might actually work.
Not only does this wonderful little book send me 1 month off to sleep, it works wonders on my 34 year old husband too.When I need some peace and quiet go catch up on the washing or to just generally have some alone time. I read both of my darling boys this book and off they pop into a deep slumber.Wouldn’t recommend for a child that repeats your words, otherwise you’ll probably be getting a letter from school asking why your child is telling kids to “Go the F*** to sleep” at nap time.
Hilarious if you don’t mind bad language! Bought for my Stepbrother and sister in law who’s baby was not sleeping at all and they saw the funny side. I think it may have cheered them up a little bit. They then showed my Dad who thought it was hilarious too!Not suitable for anyone who is easily offended!
Surprisingly none of the children could actually read so the concern for the swearing was unwarranted, also they did not appreciate the moral of the story in fact they stayed up to listen to the whole bloody thing and asked for an encore
Funny for one read perhaps but a little too close to the realities of parenting when the narrator says they are a bad parent…in jest…but this was bought to cheer someone up and so I didn’t give it to them in case that part of the book upset them and so I returned it.
