5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 10, 2022

This book was given to me years ago when my daughter was just a baby. I struggled for years trying to get her down to sleep without me. This book it’s just a bit of a reminder that there is an end and eventually they will sleep good laugh.

5.0 out of 5 stars If they’re cool and have kids under 4, buy it

I buy this for every friend expecting a baby that is cool enough to appreciate the crude humor. Extra good if it’s second baby because this is totally geared towards toddlers.

Mom to be will get a good laugh when she unwraps this present. Make sure you show her the Sam Jackson narrative on YouTube. Guaranteed to be the favorite gift. Make sure she has a sense of humor. Lol

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 12, 2022
Verified Purchase
Filled with all of the things we, as parents, wish we could say, but cannot. This book is hilarious! This short story, written as a bedtime poem, displays the exasperation we all sometimes feel as parents. It serves to remind us that we cannot control everything that our kids do, but we still set the bed time! Framed as a bedtime story, the book actually is a funny, introspective look at our lives as parents with the little ones we love. An excellent read and must have book for parents who just want their kids to go to bed!

Definitely not a book for kids, but a funny, relatable book for adults that have little ones. Would be a cute gag gift for a "Parent to Be".

Not the best nighttime book, because we laugh too much at it. But a great buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift for new parents
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 31, 2018
Verified Purchase
I bought this for my sister who is the proud owner of 9 month old twins. The twins don't yet understand what curse words are, so this book is perfect for keeping my sister sane while trying to get the little darlings to actually go to the land of nod, preferably at the same time and for the same length of time. As it was her choice to have babies and not mine, I can't vouch for how successful this book is in actually getting said babies to go to sleep, since bedtime chores are her domain, and my role as auntie is to enjoy singing songs and playing with them; handing back at the first sign of tears or nappy filling.

However, it was worth buying this as a gift just to see my sisters little face on opening it, and to hear her laugh in a slightly strained way, and to see her eyes fill with something like hope at the prospect that this might actually work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works wonders on my 1 month old son and 34 year old husband.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 15, 2019

Not only does this wonderful little book send me 1 month off to sleep, it works wonders on my 34 year old husband too.
When I need some peace and quiet go catch up on the washing or to just generally have some alone time. I read both of my darling boys this book and off they pop into a deep slumber.

Wouldn’t recommend for a child that repeats your words, otherwise you’ll probably be getting a letter from school asking why your child is telling kids to “Go the F*** to sleep” at nap time.

5.0 out of 5 stars NOT A CHILDRENS BOOK
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 25, 2017
Verified Purchase
Hilarious if you don't mind bad language! Bought for my Stepbrother and sister in law who's baby was not sleeping at all and they saw the funny side. I think it may have cheered them up a little bit. They then showed my Dad who thought it was hilarious too!
Not suitable for anyone who is easily offended!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 4, 2019

Surprisingly none of the children could actually read so the concern for the swearing was unwarranted, also they did not appreciate the moral of the story in fact they stayed up to listen to the whole bloody thing and asked for an encore

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Gift for Parents
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 24, 2020
Verified Purchase
Bought this for my partner as part of a little inside joke. Our son was/is a complete nightmare at night time and would protest like a madman in a jail cell for hours! Leaving me and my partner feeling like we were going insane. He laughed so hard on Fathers day when I gave this to him and switched on Samuel L Jacksons Version on Youtube. It is a silly book, but if you have a mini dictator of a child like ours, you kinda need to find a way to cope. Even if it is with silly little books! As the saying goes " If you don't laugh, you'll cry".
