“If you're a sleep-deprived parent who couldn't give a flying f**k about the cow jumping over the moon, Go the F**k to Sleep is the bedtime story for you. Told from the point of view of a desperately tired dad, Go the F**k matches the painterly illustrations of children's books with increasingly exasperated (and vulgar) verse quatrains, all bearing the same plea: "Lie the f**k down, my darling, and sleep." The New York Public Library concludes its LIVE season with a conversation with the award-winning authors.”
Sam Reisman, Flavorpill
Go the F**k to Sleep , a pants-wettingly funny bedtime book for parents, has received an extraordinary amount of pre-publication attention from parents around the world and is # 1 on Amazon. As Peter Maravelis of City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco told the New York Times: “It’s the zeitgeist.” Go the F**k to Sleep author Adam Mansbach, illustrator Ricardo Cortés, and Special Guests in conversation with Paul Holdengräber on Children, Sleep Deprivation and Insomnia.
