More about
the book
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.)

The audio is read by the legend that is Samuel L Jackson who prefaces his hilarious and mesmerising narration with some personal words: ‘I was anxious to do the audio read of this book because my agent has twins and he gave me the book and I read it and I fell out laughing. And I remember all those times when I did read to my daughter when she was that age and everybody tells you that reading stories will put kids to sleep, but it never works. It didn’t in my house. . . ‘
Hilariously funny, this is a breath of fresh air for parents new, old and expectant*.

This is the most honest children's book ever written. And it's f*cking hilarious
A.j. Jacobs, Author Of The Year Of Living Biblically, Father Of Three
An instantly recognisable and timeless theme tune for bleary-eyed parents everywhere - a hymn to the horrors of bedtime. Beautifully crafted, rhythmical, affectionate, profane and searingly honest, it is very funny.
