Go the Fuck 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 off to dreamland. Profane, affectionate and refreshingly honest, it captures the familiar and unspoken tribulations of putting your child to bed for the night. Colourfully illustrated and hilariously funny, this is a breath of fresh air for parents new, old and expectant*. (*You should probably not read this to your children.)

Review
A gleeful howl of blasphemy.. for the exhausted parent, nudged to the brink of sanity by lack of sleep, Go the Fuck to Sleep is more than a reason to snigger - it's a gesture of compassion. --Daily Telegraph
Hilariously funny, it gets the tone bang on - and it's comforting to know bedtime is a universally fraught experience. --News of the World

Some people just can't take a joke, it's not really for parents to read to their kids! For anyone who thinks that this is a serious book that actually suggests that parents tell their children to go the f*ck to sleep, then you're an idiot. It's like a joke book, if a stupid manager of a bookshop places it with the other children's book and then is appaulled when a child picks it up, then that's their fault.
It's a funny book, it's the kind of thing new parents might get as a present from a friend as a joke. I actually listened to the audio of it by Samuel L Jackson and it was hilarious, I don't even care that much about it, I just though the rating could do with some balancing.

When I first saw this book I laughed out loud! As a new mother of a seven month old, it really rang true... I bought it as a fathers day gift for my husband and I will buy a copy for every person I know who gets pregnant in future (well at least those with a sense of humour anyway!).
Not only is it superbly written, the illustrations are lovely.

It's funny and totally true. It's what all parents think when their child just won't go to sleep. I bought it for my sister as a joke present but she liked it than all her other presents. She said it was her favourite out of all of her gifts. She then showed it to all the other members of the family and they all read it and thought it was very amusing. I'd call it a 'stocking filler'.

Awful
I should have got more from the title really, but this book is awful. It's rude, crude and I'm not overly sure who its aimed at. Seriously, don't bother.
