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.
