|
||
|
|
From the authors of the breakout bestseller All my friends are dead. (more
|
||
|
|
than 175,000 copies sold) and in the humorous vein of Go the F**k to Sleep
|
||
|
|
comes a laugh-out-loud collection of bad advice that turns the children's
|
||
|
|
alphabet book on its head. Adorable illustrated characters lead readers down a
|
||
|
|
path of poor decision-making, and alphabetical, rhyming couplets offer
|
||
|
|
terrible life lessons in which O is for opening things with your teeth, F is
|
||
|
|
for setting Daddy's wallet on fire, and R is for Raccoon (but definitely not
|
||
|
|
for rabies). With plenty of playfully disastrous choices lurking around every
|
||
|
|
corner, this compendium of black humor may be terrible for actual children,
|
||
|
|
but it's perfect for the common-senseless child in all adults.</p>

★★★☆☆
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>What would happen if you mix "Please Go To Fucking Sleep" with an ABC book? "K
|
||
|
|
is for Knifeball".</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>It's a "for-kids-but-not-kids" kinda of book: For example, "D is for Drifter,
|
||
|
|
which you should call to get in when your parents aren't at home" and "F is
|
||
|
|
Food, which you should give for the drifter living under your bed" (or
|
||
|
|
something around those lines)... Pretty much what "Go To Fucking Sleep" does.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Surely one wouldn't recite the book to a kid anyway, and being really short,
|
||
|
|
I'm not sure about the re-readability of it. Still, it is somewhat amusing.</p>
