New small hardcover picture book, 32 pages, published 2012

The adults-only picture book Go the F**k to Sleep became an international phenomenon. At last here is the version you can safely read to your kids and have them happily snuggled down and sleeping by the end of the book!

Every parent knows the challenge of enticing a young child to sleep. The exhaustion, the exasperation, the defeat. Seriously, Just Go to Sleep is a playful bedtime book for parents to read to their children - one where everyone can laugh about the tricky business of going to sleep. And you never know, it might just have your little one snuggled down and sleeping by the end of the book

Seriously, Just Go to Sleep has all the humour and exasperation of the original. With its snoozing kittens and sleepy tigers it’s a hilarious parody of a children’s bedtime rhyme.

It lets children relish in their own mischievousness and recognise their own tactics, and allow kids and parents to laugh with each other about the tricky business of going to sleep.
