Bedtime, with the frustrations left in

Adam Mansbach turns the familiar struggle of getting a toddler to sleep into a profane, affectionate parody of the bedtime book. Its short verses trade soothing nursery conventions for candid humor about the frustrations parents may keep unspoken, making the bedtime routine itself the source of the comedy. Ricardo Cort’s illustrations accompany the text. The book also opens space to acknowledge those frustrations and laugh at their absurdity, placing the everyday challenge of parenting at the heart of its humor.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in parenting humor and candid depictions of bedtime routines.
  • Parents of toddlers who appreciate parody and profane humor.

Book overview

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 F*ck 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.
