Summary
Adam Mansbach: Fuck to Bed Adam Mansbach
Fuck to Bed is a bedtime book in verse for parents living in the real world, where a few snoozing kittens and cute little songs don't always send a toddler off to blissful dreamland. The profane, intimate, and radically honest lyrics of California Book Award-winning author Adam Mansbach perfectly portray the all-too-familiar troubles of putting our little angel to sleep. Together with the short text of this book, the conversation about parenting opens up, allowing us to admit our frustrations and laugh at their absurdity.
With illustrations by Ricardo Cortés and a great song by Matko Sršen, Get off the bed is a seductive and subversive book that will make you fall off your chair with laughter. For new, old and future parents. You probably shouldn't read it to children.
