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.

Hilariously funny, this is a breath of fresh air for parents new, old and expectant*.

(*You should probably not read this to your children.)

Critic Reviews

"Total genius" (Jonathan Lethem, author of MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN, father of two)
"A children's book for grown-ups! I really did laugh out loud-hilarious!" (David Byrne, musician, father of one)
"Beautiful, brilliant, funny as fuck. A new Contented Little Baby Book for the discontented parent" (Helen Walsh, author of GO TO SLEEP, mother of one)
"The secret anthem of tired parents everywhere" (Bliss Boyard, author of ONE DROP: MY FATHER'S HIDDEN LIFE, mother of two)
"This is the most honest children's book ever written. And it's f*cking hilarious" (A.J. Jacobs, author of THE YEAR OF LIVING BIBLICALLY, father of three)
"Finally, someone tells it like it really is. This is no-guilt funny and a godsend!" (Cristina García, author of THE LADY MATADOR'S HOTEL, mother of one)
"An instantly recognisable and timeless theme tune for bleary-eyed parents everywhere - a hymn to the horrors of bedtime. Beautifully crafted, rhythmical, affectionate, profane and searingly honest, it is very funny." (Alex Frean)
"Hilariously funny, it gets the tone bang on - and it's comforting to know bedtime is a universally fraught experience."
"A gleeful howl of blasphemy.. for the exhausted parent, nudged to the brink of sanity by lack of sleep, GTFTS is more than a reason to snigger - it's a gesture of compassion." (Benjamin Secher)
