This one's not to share with the munchkins.
It's delightfully profane.
It's not the one to be "caught" reading either.
Maybe don't pull it out of your tote bag at the pool.
(Ammo Books)
by
Adam Mansbach
(llustrated by Ricardo Cortes)
is refreshingly honest and meant for
every parent who has experienced
or is experiencing the agony of getting
a small child to go to sleep.
It's for everyone childless or not
who is grounded in the real world
and is a fan of laughter.
Mansbach, who brags
"I've always been good at profanity"
got the idea for the book last year
after he posted a wee-hour facebook status
Look out for my forthcoming children's book
"Go the F* to Sleep"
and then later considered this wasn't such a dumb idea.
It truly wasn't.
GTFTS has already sold more copies
than all of Mansbach's other titles combined.
Here's a little teaser...and parents,
in spite of the obscene amount of curses
in this bestseller, you are going to
effin enjoy GTFTS.
Teaser verse:
"The windows are dark in the town, child.
The whales huddle down in the deep.
I'll read you one very last book if you swear
You'll go the f* to sleep."
