You Have to F*****g Eat

The long-awaited sequel to the #1 New York Times best-selling classic Go the F*ck to Sleep

"You Have to F*cking 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*cking 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*ck to sleep. And, in his new foulmouthed bedtime book for parents out Wednesday, he understands that sometimes they just won't f*cking eat. And he knows, well, it's really f*cking annoying. So how about some f*cking comic relief?" ―GQ

FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERGo the F*ck 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*cking 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*ck to Sleep (over 3 million copies sold worldwide!), You Have to F*cking Eat perfectly captures Mansbach's trademark humor, which is simultaneously affectionate and radically honest. You probably shouldn't read it to your kids.
