Go the Fuck to Sleep

Parents, have you ever had your precious bundle of joy just not want to fall asleep? Well, you are not alone. This picture book is finally here for you. It puts a sarcastic tone to a frustrating activity that happens almost every night: making your kid fall asleep.

This book is really deceiving and fantastic at the same time. It has a children’s book feel to it but with a closer look, it is meant for an older audience. With the f-word inscribed behind a picture of a moon, it is truly something that is unique to all readers.

It is one of the most hilarious books I have ever encountered. I barely could enjoy the wonderful illustrations because I was crying from laughing so hard. The writing style is of that you would hear in a children’s picture book; it rhymes and has illustrations that look child-like, pictures of animals and landscapes. It is great that {author’s name} took those pictures and wrote to them as beautifully without losing his style of satire.

If you are a parent and haven’t read this yet, go open it up. You are missing the book that will definitely make you laugh until you cry.
