An unusual titled bedtime book for parents which inspires children to "go the f_ck to sleep" has soared to the top of Amazon's bestseller chart a month before publication.
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 Cort�s� 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 F_ck to Sleep is a perfect gift for parents new, old, or expectant.
Written by novelist Adam Mansbach after his own daughter Vivien failed to nod off one night, the book, Go the F_ck to Sleep, combines cutesy rhymes with expletive-ridden pleas. Published by small US press Akashic Books, it was originally due out in October. But after a pirated PDF went viral, striking a chord with exhausted parents and catapulting the 32-page book to the top of Amazon.com's bestseller chart � ahead of memoirs by Tina Fey and Steven Tyler � it has now been pulled forward to June.

Here is a sample verse:
"The cats nestle close to their kittens now.
The lambs have laid down with the sheep.
You�re cozy and warm in your bed, my dear
Please go the f_ck to sleep."
