Reviews for Go the Fuck to Sleep
Total genius
Jonathan Lethem, author of MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN, father of two Beautiful, brilliant, funny as fuck. A new Contented Little Baby Book for the discontented parent
Helen Walsh, author of GO TO SLEEP, mother of one This is the most honest children's book ever written. And it's f
cking hilarious
A.J. Jacobs, author of THE YEAR OF LIVING BIBLICALLY, father of three An instantly recognisable and timeless theme tune for bleary-eyed parents everywhere - a hymn to the horrors of bedtime. Beautifully crafted, rhythmical, affectionate, profane and searingly honest, it is very funny.

A gleeful howl of blasphemy ... for the exhausted parent, nudged to the brink of sanity by lack of sleep, GTFTS is more than a reason to snigger - it's a gesture of compassion.
Benjamin Secher
Daily Telegraph
Bedtime stories will never be the same again
Viv Groskop
The Guardian
A children's book for grown-ups! I really did laugh out loud - hilarious!
David Byrne, musician, father of one The secret anthem of tired parents everywhere
Bliss Boyard, author of ONE DROP: MY FATHER'S HIDDEN LIFE, mother of two Hilariously funny, it gets the tone bang on - and it's comforting to know bedtime is a universally fraught experience.

It subverts accepted notions of what is meant by 'good' parenting ... a clever conceit, executed with panache
