Summary

The bestselling Go the F*** to Sleep has been translated into over thirty languages worldwide. Now it is finally translated for Jamaican and other Caribbean parents of the world.

Go de Rass to Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don't always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland. Profane, affectionate, and radically honest, California Book Award - winning author Adam Mansbach's verses perfectly capture the familiar - and unspoken - tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. In the process, they open up a conversation about parenting, granting us permission to admit our frustrations and laugh at their absurdity.

Go de Rass to Sleep is beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny - a book for parents new, old, and expectant. You probably should not read it to your children.

Please note: This audiobook is in Jamaican Patois.

Short, Sweet and Amusing.

If you have ever had a child you will recognise the feelings expressed here. This is worth listening to.

Highly Amusing & Relatable

This brought a smile to my face and a few LOL's as I remembered my childhood plus I can relate now with my own children who find every excuse for hours after bedtime to not go the rass to sleep haha

Funny and sweet

Loved this very much, reminded me of my old dad, trying hard to get everyone to sleep. Loved the rhyming too.
