And it is not Feminist.
BUT, it is funny.
And it has some foul language so this post is not PG. But that is to be expected with a title like this:
Go the F--- to Sleep
No. Lie.
It is for anyone who has struggled to get a kid to go to sleep whether they were a parent, a baby-sitter, big sister or brother, grandparent, etc. I've been babysitting for 10 years now and I know I've certainly felt the frustrations this book captures.
Written by Adam Mansbach, below he does a dramatic reading from this morning's Today Show and as their website warns:
"Watching this video may cause uncontrollable laughter. Please remove children from room before viewing, and arrange pillows on floor in case you literally fall off your chair laughing."
ENJOY his story time here!!!
I'm sure many of us have done a little improv with expletives (at least in our head!) during story time in the wee hours of the morning but when this man finally put those words on paper in a real book, it took off!
The Today Show reported that "Seemingly overnight, it shot up to No. 1 on the Amazon pre-order list, his publisher bumped up the release date to June 14 and the book has even been optioned for a movie! Apparently parents world-wide can relate to his simple, satirical tale."
And in case you did too, you can buy a copy here on Amazon ;)
Now, because I have a very early day tomorrow, I must go so I can - you guessed it:
Go the f--- to sleep ;)
