You can get the unabridged edition of one of the odder kid's bedtime books I've seen, Go the F--k to Sleep [Unabridged], by Adam Mansbach, for free from Audible. It's definitely not the language you'll want your kids to hear at bedtime (ok, it's actually a MOCK bedtime story and for adults, not kids), but should be appreciated by those how struggle to get their little ones to sleep (including the 4-legged little ones; I have one now sitting with his head drooping, refusing to go to sleep in the other room, so long as I am also up and about -- at least he's now past the cranky/sleepy time of the evening where he is fighting to stay awake and is chewing everything in site).Book Description
Academy Award nominee Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction) rocks this mock bedtime story, capturing a hilarious range of emotions as the voice of a father struggling to get his child to sleep.
Go the F**k 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 blissfully off to dreamland. California Book Award-winning author Adam Mansbach's profane, affectionate, and radically honest verses perfectly capture the familiar - and unspoken - tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. In the process, he opens up a conversation about parenting, granting us permission to admit our frustrations and laugh at their absurdity.
Beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny, Go the F**k to Sleep is a book for parents new, old, and expectant. Due to its explicit language, you probably should not play it for your children.
Go the F**k to Sleep is available free for a limited time. Feel free to share the link to this page with tired parents and other people who could use a good swear and a laugh.
