The great director Werner Herzog reads the book "Go the F*ck to Sleep", written by Adam Mansbach and illustrated by Ricardo Cortes (published by Akashic Books) at the book launch for the title at the New York Public Library, June 14, 2011. Apparently he was hesitant at first to do the pre-recorded reading, but afterwards said "I liked the job". Samuel L. Jackson will be doing the audio book. Very proud of you Ricardo!!

I happen to prefer Samuel L's delivery...but one this isn't open to debate: The sound quality on the Herzog version is sub-standard.

Alright, I've just seen/heard the Jackson one after watching this one first, and I DEF like this one more. Not as crisp sounding, nor the video, but their tones come out a LOT more believable and funny. Thanks for sharing. =) I don't think I've laughed this much in years. Seriously!

Herzog has the greatest voice ever. Sam Jackson is great too, but Herzog takes the cake!

This is definitive proof that Werner Herzog is willing to make fun of himself.

I never understood that there may have been a market for "non drowsy" formulations for kids' medicines. If you've already bowed in submission to the middle-class-parent Bogeyman that is (your vague awareness of) Big Pharma!!! then why not have it with the harmless anti-histamine-thing with the well-known side effect of kiddy-knock-out? The little shit has been screaming, moaning and fussing morning noon and night already - "drowsy" is the barest minimum state of alertness acceptable.
