Mentre il contagio si diffonde su scala globale, una giovane psichiatra scopre accidentalmente che il figlio potrebbe essere la chiave per la salvezza dell'umanità..

Alla fine Paperino la inghiotte, la distrugge mentre è nel suo corpo e ne sputa i pezzi. Poi il suo letto pieghevole si ripiega su di lui, e cominciano ad uscirne le molle; così Paperino costruisce un'elaborata struttura per tenerlo fermo.

Academy Award nominee Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction) rocks this mock bedtime story, capturing a hilarious range of emotions as the voice of a father struggling to get his child to sleep. Go the F**k 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. California Book Award-winning author Adam Mansbach’s profane, affectionate, and radically honest verses perfectly capture the familiar - and unspoken - tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. In the process, he opens up a conversation about parenting, granting us permission to admit our frustrations and laugh at their absurdity. Beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny, Go the F**k to Sleep is a book for parents new, old, and expectant. Due to its explicit language, you probably should not play it for your children.
