That being said, I did really enjoy the book. You might think that makes me a prude and old-fashioned and I know the author was using it more for emphasis than any other thing, but in my opinion, I think the book would have been just as enjoyable and have the same effect without all of the curse words on every single page. And it made me a little uncomfortable that this parent was so free with them around his kid or when thinking about his kid. After the first few pages, it got a little old for me. It was funny the first couple times around. I personally don't use curse words in my life and don't really care to hear it used when I'm around, so I didn't care much for the profanity in the book. Seuss books lately, but I was expecting a little more of a rhythmic bounce to the story a la Seuss-ical fashion. I think the writing could have been a little sharper. However, it would make a great gift to share with parents - especially new ones. The story reads a lot like a bedtime story because of the illustrations and poetic verses, but please do not confuse it with an actual bedtime story that you can read with your little ones. I chose to request and review this book because I thought it'd give me a good laugh about those crazy nights we've had where our baby girl would NOT sleep and I wholehearted started believing that she (and I) would never go back to sleep EVER AGAIN. Everyone warns you about it when you become a parent, but you are never really fully prepared for the first couple of months of parenthood when your world is so much fuller because of the new baby in your life, but also so insanely overwhelming because you are so sleep-deprived.

(We're working on it.) Out of everything, I think the single most-mystifying thing about having your own baby is sleep. My husband and I are new parents of a 10-month old who STILL does not sleep through the night. Everyone has there takeaways! I also so appreciate that this generation is the generation that will disarm the dreaded Word that shouldn't be Heard. While I didn't use the Worse Word Know to the American Language, the sentiment was surely there! I adore this book so much I am sharing it with my adult friends, even those without children of there own. I am at the point in my life that I'm hoping for grandchildren (no rush kidlings), however I can still remember those nights where the feeling was deep love yoked with ultimate frustration with this bundle that only mostly cares about itself.

If you can't abide the F-bomb used this book, let alone a book that comes across as a children's book, check out 'Seriously, Just Go to Sleep.' *Alert* this may be a controversial book! Don't allow it to fall into the wrong hands!! In fact, the author seemed to know that there would be controversy, there are two versions of this book.
