10/10

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2019

My son's bedtime story for the past 3 years has been "Go the F***k to Sleep", and it has been wonderful.
However, as he get's older and tries to refine his toddler palate he becomes increasingly picky at meal time. Often, he chooses to play instead of eat. That's not going to fly in my home. To teach several life lessons (including the importance of a well-balanced meal) we've added this book into our rotation. He's responded well, but your mileage may vary because, well, kids are a$$h*les.
Mama may be a nurse, maid, teacher, and builder of wooden trains, but I am not a short order cook. I use profane literature to communicate such to my children. 10/10 would buy again.

My failure's complete

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2014

The follow up to the Samuel L Jackson narrated "Go the F*** to Sleep", You Have to F--king Eat, narrated by Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston has completed the narration of my entire evening (3.5 & 5 yr old boys) by two of the best cursers known to man. If only we could 3rd and 4th books in the series (get in your car seat, don't run into the street) narrated by Al Pacino and Christopher Walken to cover the rest of my week.

Oh my goodness. Best. Book. Ever. I got the other one as well, and they are hilariously true. These would be a great gift for any new/old parents. 😂

Not that funny; awkward stilted rhyming

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2019

I guess I'm in the minority. My husband and I both thought this was just not that funny, and we generally find "F word" humor hilarious. Well, he does. The rhymes are very stilted and awkward. Especially as a parent who has to read Dr Seuss and other rhyming books ad nauseum, this book just doesn't have a fun, flowing cadence and the different situations of child not eating are old hallway through the book.

You have to f*****g get this book!

Our dear, sweet 6 yr old daughter is SO stubborn about eating dinner. After a very exhausting evening at the dinner table, I ordered this for my husband as a Christmas gift. Needless to say, it ended up needing to be busted out much earlier. We love the Go The F to Sleep book, and this one does not disappoint either. I think that all parents need both books! A little humor helps in those frustrating moments. These also pair perfectly with a glass of wine or a stiff drink.

Good Fun

If you are a fan of Adam Mansbach's Go the F*** to sleep and its accompanying audio book narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, then you will probably love this book. Written and drawn in the style of a children's book, You Have to F****** Eat addresses to age old battle fought between child and parent at meal time. Imagine Good Night Moon or Where the Wild Things Are if they were written by a foul-mouthed sailor. The language is raw, but the tone and "story" are pitch perfect.

As I stated in my review of Go The F*** to Sleep, avoid this book if you are easily offended.

I took a star off because this is Adam Mansbach's second children's book parody and I felt like it rehashed the original book's formula without breaking much new comedic territory.

Buy it for yourself, buy it for your friends.

This book is funny. It's worth a purchase for yourself or a friend who has a kid that's anywhere between 6 months and 4 years. The rhymes are solid. The sentiment is accurate. My entire diet on some days is made of the stuff my daughter doesn't eat. Anyone who's fed a kid will appreciate reading it twice. Only toddlers and the insane read books more than twice, but this is one you'll still enjoy on the second read.

I feel like this guy lives with me. I have two kids. One won't sleep, one won't eat. This is another instant classic in our house.

Hilarious and relatable. My partner and I sure got a kick out of this book. Bonus: my 3 year old daughter (who cannot read it) loves to look at the pictures of all the animals. We obviously don't read it to her, but she at least also gets some entertainment out of the pictures.

If you have kids chances are you've ended up going through the fight of getting one of them (or maybe all of them...) To eat their food. This book is for you. It's great
