Not Your Ordinary Picture Book


Go the Fuck to Sleep: a storybook for exhausted parents. (boing boing, 4/26/2011)

Excerpt:   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. Honest, profane, and affectionate, Adam Mansbach's verses and Ricardo Cortés' illustrations perfectly capture the familiar--and unspoken--tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night, and open up a conversation about parenting in the process. Beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny, Go the Fuck to Sleep is a perfect gift for parents new, old, or expectant.

"...pants-wettingly funny"?

Well, at least I have my Dignity.
