A bedtime story no child will hear

IT’S one of the publishing sensations of the year, largely due to its resonance with any parent who has ever experienced the “joy” of a wide-eyed toddler at bedtime.

Adam Mansbach’s satirical children’s tome, Go The F**k To Sleep, is set to wake up the literary world when it is officially published this week.

Mansbach’s book began life when he posted a message on Facebook borne out of frustration at his failure to get his two-year-old daughter, Vivien, to fall asleep.
