Go the F%$* to Sleep
This is a bit of a different product for me to review, but after hearing time and again about this book, I just had to read it.
Go the F&^$ to Sleep by Adam Mansbach debuted on June 14 and is making waves across the globe. For anyone who's battled bedtime, this book is a must read.
A parody on all of the "normal" happy-go-lucky, peaches and cream bedtime books we read our little ones, this one is for the parent who has often muttered 4-letter words under their breath (or even aloud) as they argue their way past water, one last hug, or any of the other universal excuses. I have yet to meet a parent who has not been in this predicament; and yes, I personally know this scenario more than I wish to admit. It's a rare night when I don't have this sort of battle and don't end up cursing aloud.
Masbach ever-so-eloquently handles the one last book, the water request, the bathroom break and the questions children will ask with such satire and humor, you find yourself feeling his anger building as if it's your very own. Surely for some of us (ahem) it's a case of relating all too well.
If you're turned off by dark humor, don't read this; if swearing bothers you, you mustn't get it. But for anyone who's ever wanted to scream the title of this book at the top of your lungs, I highly suggest you get look into it. If nothing else, you'll get some great laughs and realize that you're definitely not alone.
