In the process, they open up a conversation about parenting, granting us permission to admit our frustrations and laugh at their absurdity. With illustrations by Ricardo Corte s, Go the F**k to Sleep is beautiful, subversive and pants-wettingly funny-a book for parents new, old and expectant. You should probably not read it to your children. SAMPLE- The cats nestle close to their kittens, The lambs have laid down with the sheep. You're cozy and warm in your bed, my dear.
