The mock-children’s book sensation, Go The F--k to Sleep, will debut this week at number one on The New York Times’ bestseller list for advice books. It also sits on top of Amazon.com’s bestseller list. 

The picture book began as a joke by its author, Adam Mansbach, on Facebook; he turned it into a real book, with illustrations, after his friends’ loved the joke.

Jackson and Werner Herzog both held readings of the book at its launch event at the New York Public Library Tuesday.
