Pros
Pro Well-written adult humour
This plays with modern parenting on the context of making their child sleep. So vulgar language melds well with the comedy it presents.
Pro Styled like a children's storybook
Thinly disguised like a innocent bedtime story book with fancy illustrations, be shocked once you open the book. It's a very deceiving piece of literature.
Pro Available as a Audiobook
Audible Inc. has also released a version of this book as a audiobook, narrated by Samuel L. Jackson.
Cons
Con Not intended for children
While it is styled like a children's storybook you shouldn't really read it around with a child. However, a more child-friendly version exists, written by Adam Mansbach as well.
