So this is not a children book. Not really. Samuel Jackson did a good job in reading this book for adults. Who has this shared experienced of bed time reading to a child who just refused to go to sleep. The tone of voice switch from smooth and nice to his normal what's the fuck are you up to t...

This is definitely not a kid’s book so please don’t leave it lying around so kids can peek inside its pages because the language inside is not for their eyes. I laughed as I read along and at times, I had trouble keeping up with the rhymes that made up this story but that was okay, because I totally...

I remember those days! I needed this laugh when my boys were little. : ) I listened to the audio and read the book along with it. Samuel Jackson's introduction is just as hilarious as the story. Lol

An adult book disguised as a bedtime story for children. It describes in a funny and clever way all the problems parents deal to make their children sleep and its written like a book for little kids.I listened to the audio version read by Samuel L. Jackson and couldn't stop laughing, recommended if ...

I was just made aware that LeVar Burton read this. I was used to Samuel L. Jackson's narration, so unsure how I'd feel about this. (I love Burton, but Jackson nails the narration, so I wasn't sure if this would hold up in comparison.) It does. See it here. Judge for yourself, but for me, th...

I actually think my stomach muscles will be sore tomorrow from laughing so hard. So, in summation, listening to Samuel L. Jackson read this is an excellent alternative to going to the gym. For all you Reading Rainbow fans out there, Levar Burton also nails his narration of this same gem of a bedti...

Adam Mansbach writes what I (and perhaps he) would describe as "alternative children's books". The man is fucking brilliant. Yes, I said "fucking". If you can't get past the profanity, you are not the target audience for these books. These books are for everyone who has ever loved a child be...

The title pretty much explains why I listened to it. Also it was free. And it is hilarious! Highly recommended.

I know I'm way behind, but this is quite possibly the best children's book I've read in the last decade. I didn't think it'd be possible, but the audiobook, read by Samuel L. Jackson, is even better than the book. Highly recommended for sleep-deprived people who have difficult fussy children. ...
