Description
Go the Fuck to Sleep
Go the F**k to Sleep is a hilariously candid and relatable book that captures the frustration many parents feel when trying to get their young children to fall asleep. Written by Adam Mansbach and published in 2011, this book is a humorous “adult bedtime story” that reads like a traditional lullaby but with a twist—it’s filled with exasperated, funny, and sometimes profane thoughts that parents secretly think as they try to coax their kids into sleep.
The book pairs Mansbach’s sharp, witty text with Ricardo Cortés’s charming, vintage-style illustrations that add warmth and humor, softening the edgy language. It’s designed to resonate with exhausted parents who need a laugh during those challenging bedtime routines.
Despite its explicit language, the book became an instant bestseller and cultural phenomenon because of its honest, comedic take on parenting struggles. It’s often given as a gift to new or overwhelmed parents and has been praised for helping people laugh through the chaos of raising kids.
This book is available in hardcover, and you can also find it as an ebook or audiobook (read by famous actors like Samuel L. Jackson) on platforms like Amazon and Audible. It’s a great choice if you want a funny, relatable read that breaks the usual “nice and sweet” mold of children’s bedtime stories.
