Book ~ "You Have to F**king Eat" (2014) Adam Mansbach

From Goodreads ~ From the author of the international bestseller "Go the F**k 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**king 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**k to Sleep", "You Have to F**king Eat" perfectly captures Adam Mansbach's trademark humor, which is simultaneously affectionate and radically honest. You probably shouldn't read it to your kids.

This is the sequel to Go the F**k to Sleep.   Like the first one, it's cute and funny.  Parents can relate.  You definitely shouldn't read it to your kids!  Here's a sample page:

Book ~ "Go the F**k to Sleep" (2011) Adam Mansbach

From Goodreads ~ "Go the F**k to Sleep" is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don't always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland. Profane, affectionate, and radically honest, California Book Award-winning author Adam Mansbach's verses perfectly capture the familiar - and unspoken - tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. In the process, he opens up a conversation about parenting, granting us permission to admit our frustrations and laugh at their absurdities.

With illustrations by Ricardo Cortes, "Go the F**k to Sleep" is beautiful, subversive and pants-wettingly funny, a book for parents new, old and expectant. You probably should not read it to your children.

This has been on the Toronto Star's top ten books for a while so I thought I'd check it out.

It's cute and I imagine very true.

It's quite short ... only 32 pages. But it's a fun read.
