Go the F**k to Sleep

By Adam Mansbach & Ricardo Cortés
Go the F**k to Sleep by Adam Mansbach & Ricardo Cortés digital book - Fable

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.

Rolling on the Floor Laughing Face“It was kinda funny 😂”
“Jackson is naturally edgy and a force, but his narration didn't do him justice. Still a good listen though (3 stars).”
