Since going viral last month, the sweetly expletive-strewn narrative-“The cats nestle close to their kittens now / The lambs have laid down with the sheep / You’re cozy and warm in your bed, my dear/ Please go the f**k to sleep”-has turned novelist Adam Mansbach into a reluctant ringleader for Bad Dads everywhere. Among the many ways for Moms and Dads to feel guilty, there is now Go the F**k to Sleep, a potty-mouthed picture book, complete with cherubic toddlers, slumbering animals, and generously dropped F-bombs.
