The long-awaited sequel to the #1 New York Times best-selling classic Go the Fuck to Sleep "You Have to F**king Eat makes parents of picky eaters smile." —TODAY Parents "Adam Mansbach . . . will delight exhausted and exasperated parents everywhere for a second time with You Have to F**king Eat—another children's book that is most definitely not for children." —Entertainment Weekly "Parents, Adam Mansbach gets you. He understood that sometimes your kids just won't go the f**k to sleep. And, in his new foulmouthed bedtime book for parents out Wednesday, he understands that sometimes they just won't f**king eat. And he knows, well, it's really f**king annoying. So how about some f**king comic relief?" —GQ FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERGo the Fuck 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 Fucking 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 Fuck to Sleep (over 3 million copies sold worldwide!), You Have to Fucking Eat perfectly captures Mansbach's trademark humor, which is simultaneously affectionate and radically honest. You probably shouldn't read it to your kids.
