I discovered Adam Mansbach's "children's" book,
Go the Fuck to
Sleep, one day when I was browsing for a gift for Emily. This was
before we had Everett. Even then I recognized the genius of this
tale. I am not sure if I ever laughed so loudly in a book store before or
since.
Now that I am a parent and
have
had those nights that will never end, I realize how amazing the book really
is. I am sort of jealous that I didn't write it first. But I've
only been a parent for 6 months, so it really wouldn't have felt authentic if I
tried such an endeavour. The book is awesome, even if I didn't write it.
The book has now become even more awesome because it has been narrated by
Samuel L. Jackson. There really isn't a better narrator possible for this
book.
This
is now tied for first place for best picture book read by a celebrity.
Easily.
If you've had some long sleepless nights, because your kid refuses to sleep,
then you've got to listen to this. Plus it will give you your Jackson fix
for the day.
