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. This ebook edition of Go the F**k to Sleep is enhanced with extra content. Read along with award-winning director Werner Herzog and listen to Christopher Walken–style and Al Pacino–style narrations by comedian Misha Goberman. Watch Adam Mansbach, illustrator Ricardo Cortés, and publisher Johnny Temple talk about the genesis of the book and the worldwide fanfare in short videos, go behind the scenes of the launch party at the New York Public Library, and laugh out loud at some of the most viral Go the F**k to Sleep memes.
