Publisher Description
The #1 New York Times Bestseller: “A hilarious take on that age-old problem: getting the beloved child to go to sleep” (NPR).
“Hell no, you can’t go to the bathroom. You know where you can go? The f**k to sleep.”
Go the Fuck to Sleep is a 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, it captures the familiar—and unspoken—tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night.
Read by a host of celebrities, from Samuel L. Jackson to Jennifer Garner, this subversively funny bestselling storybook will not actually put your kids to sleep, but it will leave you laughing so hard you won’t care.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"The windows are dark in the town, child, the whales huddled down in the deep. I'll read you one very last book if you swear, you'll go the f**k to sleep." With those softly spoken words, unlikely bedtime narrator Samuel L. Jackson attempts to lull a little one to sleep with the assistance of charming incidental music. However, this child, like so many others, has different ideas. With an increasingly aggravated tone, Jackson becomes the voice of countless overtired parents the world over, allowing his inner monologue to come to life with outrageously hilarious results. "Sure, fine, whatever! I'll bring you some milk, who the f**k cares! You're not gonna sleep." Jackson captures the spirit of this adult storybook in a way no other narrator could. An Akashic Books hardcover.

This is the book for you :)
Go the f to sleep
I was so stunned when I saw this book at Chapters and also to find that iTunes supports this book is absolutely appalling. Even as a parent I can relate. What parent or anyone who has had to look after young children wouldn't. Are there no values or morals of anyone anymore?
At Chapters this book was on a table next to the children's section. I would have been mortified if my son had seen this book as it "looks" like a children's book with the graphics. It is displayed at a level on a table where very young kids can see it.
Parents have it tough enough in this day and age with all of crap that goes on in public education and our loose laws. Parents don't need this pure crap to undermine the values and lessons that they try to instil in their kids.
The book says that you shouldn't actually read the book to any kids. Then why write it? You know there are some really stupid people who will read this to kids who shouldn't even know that these swear words exist. No, I am not a prude. I have respect for my son and in turn he respects me enough to not swear (at least not in front of me. I'm not stupid) this book is wrong on so many levels.
I guess people will do anything for money - even if it is idiotic. The bigger idiots are the ones who actually pay for this crap. I know, I know - it's up to each individuals perception. It is still appalling.
I only gave it one star because I had to rate it.
