--San Francisco Book Review You Have to F**cking Eat, Sequel to Go the F**k to Sleep, Is Finally F**king Coming...It will arrive just in time to gift it to your brother-in-law, who, upon unwrapping it, will clutch it immediately to his chest and shake his head furiously at his waist-high daughter as she claws at him with her chewed up nails. 'No, no, it's not for you, ' he'll say, laughing and crying at the same time.
--Flavorwire An uproarious spoof of bedtime board books.
--San Francisco Chronicle A 21st-century bedtime story for the ages (and all ages) if there ever was one.
--Bay Area Reporter Parents, when your precious angel rips you from your three hours of sleep to demand food that he won't actually eat, you'll want this f'ing book.
--Mashable Forthcoming new book by genius funnyman Adam Mansbach.
--BoingBoing Mansbach freely, fabulously curses out the uncensored truth; Brozman makes sure you'll recognize your irresistible, equitably diverse mini-mes with those all-too-familiar expressions, from utter disdain to overwhelming trust and every little eyeball roll in between.
--BookDragon/Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center If your kid has never presented you with some new mind-boggling preference at mealtime, I suspect you're lying.
--Persephone Magazine This book is genius. It is what every parent is thinking when their child refuses dinner.
--Old School/New School Mom With this soon-to-be crude classic, Adam Mansbach has nailed it with his undeniable animal/child comparisons all cozily complimented by Owen Brozman's humorous illustration--we dare you not to giggle into your eggnog.
--Curious Mom Illustrations are just as enjoyable and the narrative again paints the perfect picture.
--Roundtable Reviews From the author of the international best seller Go the F*** to Sleep comes a long-awaited sequel about the other great parental frustration: getting your little angel to eat something that even vaguely resembles a normal meal. Profane, loving, and deeply cathartic, You Have to F***ing Eat breaks the code of child-rearing silence, giving moms and dads new, old, grand- and expectant, a much-needed chance to laugh about a universal problem. A perfect gift book like the smash hit Go the F*** to Sleep (over 1.5 million copies sold worldwide ), You Have to F***ing Eat perfectly captures Mansbach's trademark humor, which is simultaneously affectionate and radically honest. You probably shouldn't read it to your kids, so there's a kid-friendly version, Seriously, You Have to Eat.
