Go the Fuck to Sleep by Adam Mansbach

Go the Fuck to Sleep

by Adam Mansbach

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 probably shouldn't read this to your children.)

Una tontada de libro. Refleja en unas pocas nanas toda la desesperación de un padre que no consigue dormir a su hijo. Perlas selectas:

The cats nestle close to their kittens now.
The lambs have laid down with the sheep.
You’re cozy and warm in your bed, my dear
Please go the fuck to sleep.

O también:

All the kids from daycare are in dreamland.
The froggie has made his last leap.
Hell no you can't go to the bathroom.
You know where you can go?
The fuck to sleep.

Hay una versión en Audible leída por Samuel L. Jackson que promete. El libro no tiene más pero es un detalle gracioso.
