The best part? It’s still funny. The rhythms, the plodding rhymes, the illustrations, the clever play on the overused trope of the world at bedtime—they all work together to take \u003ci\u003eSeriously, Just Go to Sleep\u003c\/i\u003e beyond parody and into the realm where good children’s books belong: things that parents, and children, can honestly come to from different places and enjoy together. I can imagine reading \u003ci\u003eSeriously, Go to Sleep\u003c\/i\u003e nightly, and even to the point where you’re begging the child to choose something else (the ultimate compliment for a picture book) and yet still finding something to enjoy. It captures a different ‘zeitgeist’ of modern parenting.” —\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeriously, Just Go to Sleep\u003c\/i\u003e is the G-rated, traditional-sized, children’s version of the book every parent has been talking about. \u003ci\u003eGo the F*** to Sleep\u003c\/i\u003e, the picture book for adults, became a cultural sensation by striking a universal chord for parents. Now, Adam Mansbach and Ricardo Cortés reunite with \u003ci\u003eSeriously, Just Go to Sleep\u003c\/i\u003e, inviting the children themselves in on the joke. As parents know, kids are well aware of how difficult they can be at bedtime. With Cortés’s updated illustrations (including a cameo appearance by Samuel L. Jackson, who narrated the audio book version of \u003ci\u003eGo the F*** to Sleep\u003c\/i\u003e) and Mansbach’s new child-appropriate narrative, the book allows kids to recognize their tactics, giggle at their own mischievousness, and empathize with their parents’ struggles—a perspective most children’s books don’t capture. Most important, it provides a common ground for children and their parents to talk about one of the most stressful aspects of parenting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeriously, Just Go to Sleep\u003c\/i\u003e came to be when Mansbach read a highly censored rendition of the original book to his three-year-old daughter, and she recognized herself as the culprit and was delighted. “We were getting a lot of feedback from parents, saying that their kids loved the book—read in an altered form—because they recognized themselves in the character of the mischievous kid who’s winning the bedtime battle, and thought it was hilarious. So we figured we’d do a companion volume that lets kids in on the fun.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdam Mansbach\u003c\/b\u003e is a novelist, screenwriter, humorist, and cultural critic (in addition to having built an obscene fake children's book empire).
