Go the F**k to Sleep

This book is not for children although my partner's six year old niece got her hands on it and all she said was there was a bold word in it! The book is a must read for any parent who has had difficulty getting their children to sleep. Although it will do nothing to help except probably bring a tear to the eye from either laughter or recognition that they are not alone! The author's frustration leaps off the page and becomes more so as the book's 32 pages go on. A really funny, poignant read - my mother thought it was hilarious. The illustrations are beautiful and worth buying the book for them alone. Enjoy!

Bought this for my partner as part of a little inside joke. Our son was/is a complete nightmare at night time and would protest like a madman in a jail cell for hours! Leaving me and my partner feeling like we were going insane. He laughed so hard on Fathers day when I gave this to him and switched on Samuel L Jacksons Version on Youtube. It is a silly book, but if you have a mini dictator of a child like ours, you kinda need to find a way to cope. Even if it is with silly little books! As the saying goes " If you don't laugh, you'll cry".

This made me laugh out loud. It is just what parents are secretly saying to themselves. A perfect and short read for all parents out there. 😂

This book should be given out as you leave the hospital with your newborn. A must for parents of multiples it alows you to have a giggle at what can be the most challenging part of parenting; SLEEP DEPRIVATION!!! I bought this for my partner and we often just read a couple of pages for a giggle. Beautifully written in the style of a classic rhyming children's book and traditionally illustrated but given a very adult edge with the humorous use of language

I had to read this for the title alone, to be honest. I'm not a parent (nor do I ever want to be one) but I can imagine this is what parents feel like when their darling brats refuse to sleep. If you're offended by swearing then maybe this book is clearly not for you (I've seen some reviewers complain of the profanity ... what did you expect when THAT'S the title of the book - some folks *eye rolls*) The reason for not a full 5/5? The price tag at the back of the book says it's £9.99 ... ooooooo boy, for a picture book that took less that 5 mins to get through? Nope. Luckily, good ol' Amazon got me a good price. Thanks boo. x

I bought this for my son and his wife. Our grandson has kept them up all hours since he was born and thought it would put a smile on their faces and it definitely did. They laughed at every page. It is written for parents that live in the real world of parenting and says what every new parent is probably thinking .

I've been this parent. Many, many times over. So have you, I'll bet, so the alm almost pleading nature of the prose will seem alarmingly familiar. If it does (and I know it will) you need to just cut the crap, phone social services, and admit to drugging your children quite heavily for the first 5 or 6 years of their lives. It doesn't make you a monster. I'm lying. It does, but I just wish I had your conviction of action. And your sleep history.

I bought this for my sister who is the proud owner of 9 month old twins. The twins don't yet understand what curse words are, so this book is perfect for keeping my sister sane while trying to get the little darlings to actually go to the land of nod, preferably at the same time and for the same length of time. As it was her choice to have babies and not mine, I can't vouch for how successful this book is in actually getting said babies to go to sleep, since bedtime chores are her domain, and my role as auntie is to enjoy singing songs and playing with them; handing back at the first sign of tears or nappy filling. However, it was worth buying this as a gift just to see my sisters little face on opening it, and to hear her laugh in a slightly strained way, and to see her eyes fill with something like hope at the prospect that this might actually work.
