Christmas is a little way off, but father's day is near -A new book entitled "go the fcuk to sleep" is becoming a best seller..

Based on his experiences of getting his child to sleep. the book , written by novelist Adam Mansbach after his own daughter Vivien failed to nod off one night, the book, combines cutesy rhymes with expletive-ridden pleas.

"The eagles who soar through the sky are at rest
And the creatures who crawl, run and creep.
I know you're not thirsty. That's bullshit.
Stop lying.
Lie the fcuk down, my darling, and sleep

or

The cubs and the lions are snoring
Wrapped in a big snuggly heap.
How come you can do all this other great shit
But you can't lie the fcuk down and sleep?

Would you buy it ?
Can you think of more rhymes ?

It's all about finding and exploiting a niche market and ofcourse timing.

I come from an age where my parents never read a book to us at bedtime - We just went to bed :O)

Your book could be aimed at the new generation of yuppie parents ...
