“You’ve probably heard of the book Go the F**k to Sleep and its two sequels–You Have to F**king Eat and F**k, Now There Are Two of You. But did you know it’s been a full decade since the first book become a brilliant and hilarious phenomenon?” —Fatherly
Ten years ago, Adam Mansbach crystallized the secret agony of parents the world over with one simple phrase: Go the Fuck to Sleep. In verses that perfectly capture the familiar tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night, the book opened up a conversation about parenting, granting us permission to admit our frustrations, and laugh at their absurdity . . . and the message only resonated louder when Samuel L. Jackson, the bard of the F-word, read the audiobook.
You Have to Fucking Eat expanded the conversation to include parenthood’s other universal frustration: getting your little angel to eat something that even vaguely resembles a normal meal, with Bryan Cranston voicing the audiobook . . . and because life moves pretty fast, Fuck, Now There Are Two of You soon became necessary, to address the fact that two is, somehow, a million more kids than one–with Larry David doing the audiobook honors.
And now, to celebrate a decade of profane, loving, and deeply cathartic children’s books for adults, the entire trilogy is finally available in a collectors’-edition boxed set, perfect for gifting at a baby shower or using to knock yourself unconscious. As always . . . you probably should not read these books to a child.
