It definitely throws you out of your comfort zone, it is uncomfortable, it is funny in parts, but it is over the top. The illustrations by Ricardo Corté s are rich and very cute – they are so attractive that BiP enjoys looking at them making it hard to remember that it is a book for adults, NOT children. “The tiger reclines in the shimmering jungle.įuck your stuffed bear, I’m not getting you shit. At some points in the book I find myself getting annoyed, and perhaps even slightly offended, which for someone who LOVES colourful language is saying something! Even in the moments of high desperation and extreme tiredness I don’t think would articulate my sentiments in the way that was published, well, at least not with my own child: I love the descriptions and the rhythm of the verses in Go the F**k to Sleep – they flow, they are rich and then you are hit with the F-word which after the first 2 pages get’s old and actually very irritating. I use it frequently as verb, a noun and an adjective BUT I rarely write it. The hype, and the instant cult classic for me, is amazing. It’s written and illustrated in the style of a children’s bedtime book.įor me, it’s the story that surrounds the book that is incredible. It’s a book for parents about the trials and tribulations of trying to get kids to sleep. It just looks like one – it was marketed, until it’s release, as a children’s book – very clever! Now they have they have released a free audio version of the book narrated by none other than Samuel L Jackson guaranteed to be a cult classic eh? The fact is, this is NOT a children’s book. Add the word f**k to a children’s book and you are on to a winner it seems.

PDF copies of the book were “leaked” catapulting Mansbach’s children’s book to the top spot on Amazon before it was even published. A carefully crafted “unintended” viral marketing plan was elegantly executed. Never before has a book grabbed my attention as Go the F**K to Sleep by Adam Mansbach.
