Description

"If you're a fan of both Larry David and profane children's book parodies, don't even try to curb your f*cking enthusiasm." -Kirkus Reviews

Adam Mansbach famously gave voice to two of parenting's primal struggles in Go the Fuck to Sleep and You Have to Fucking Eat-the often-imitated, never-duplicated pair of New York Times best sellers that ushered in a new era of radical honesty in humor books for parents. But what could possibly be left?

Parents-new, old, expectant, and grand-of multiple children already knew the answer. Adam discovered it for himself by having two more kids, less than two years apart.

Fuck, Now There Are Two of You is a loving monologue about the new addition to the family, addressed to a big sibling and shot through with Adam's trademark profane truth-telling. Gorgeously illustrated and chock-full of unspoken sentiments channeled directly from the brains of parents worldwide, Fuck, Now There Are Two of You articulates all the fears and frustrations attendant to the simple, math-defying fact that two is a million more kids than one.

As you probably know by now, you shouldn't read it to a child.

Critic Reviews

“"The third installment in [Mansbach''s] series of ''children''s books for adults'' is Fk, Now There Are Two of You --an honest look at the reality of welcoming a second child." -- HuffPost "The book is not appropriate for bedtime reading for children. But the book''s description promises a ''loving monologue'' about a second child in Mansbach''s trademark ''profane truth-telling,'' which is why people laughed so hard they cried through Mansbach''s first book." -- USA Today "Hey, you know when you find out you''re having a second baby, and you''re overjoyed remembering that sweet newborn smell and thinking of all the cuddles, then you start remembering the sleep deprivation, the crying, the near-constant feeding, realize now you have to face all that while also keeping your older child alive, and go ''Oh, fck?'' There''s a book for that." -- HuffPost Canada "In 2011, the bedtime book game was forever changed with Adam Mansbach''s epic lullaby, Go the Fk To Sleep . At the time, the book was a revelation for tired parents who, of course, still love their children, but really and truly need kids to take a break for a bit. Now, eight years later, Go the Fk To Sleep is getting a fcking sequel, Fk, Now There Are Two of You ." -- Yahoo! Parents "Nothing can prepare you for having two children, but if you''re on the precipice, it''s worth considering that ''for years--f*king years!--there will not be a time no one''s shtting or crying or peeing.'' Truer words were never printed, bound, and given a glossy cover." -- Romper "Known for his knee-slapping, relatably vulgar depictions of the realities of parenthood, Mansbach''s new book is described as ''a loving monologue about the new addition to the family.'' Written for the oldest sibling of a new baby, Fk, Now There Are Two of You is being recorded by one of the greatest (and Jewish!!) comedic minds of our era: Larry David." -- Kveller "It''s the best fking news we''ve heard all day: the smash-hit Not Safe For Kids bedtime book, Go The Fk To Sleep is getting another cheeky follow up." -- Essential Baby "Adam Mansbach, the guy behind the NSFW lullaby that knocked all other parenting books off the shelf, is back with another R-rated book for parents. You''re going to want this one, guys." -- Moms "There''s some big effing news for parents and lovers of literary expletives. Author Adam Mansbach has released another follow up to his New York Times Bestseller Go the Fk to Sleep , and parents everywhere will undoubtedly relate and rejoice." -- The Dad "Parents of two or more are once again expected to double over with laughter reading Fk, Now There Are Two of You ." -- Caf”

Adam Mansbach, who famously told the world's children, Go the Fk to Sleep, is back with the third installment of his profane picture books . . . This time around, his loving but overwhelmed narrator is dealing with the demands of caring for a second child. Naturally, the book is called, Fk, Now There Are Two of You.-- "Washington Post Book Club"
F
k, Now There Are Two of You, seems brilliantly aimed at skewering the frustrating family dynamic of suddenly having two children to deal with instead of just one. Being an American family of four can be tough as shit, and but thankfully, the 'f**k' book series is here to help.-- "Fatherly"

More on this Book

"Adam Mansbach, whose breakout book Go the Fk to Sleep was recorded by Samuel L. Jackson to viral acclaim, has completely shaken up the children's lit space with his profane, candid, and deeply hilarious odes to the trials of parenthood." -- Entertainment Weekly "Larry David is lending his voice to the audiobook version of a popular children's tale. The comedian will narrate Fk, Now There Are Two of You , the third installment in the Go the Fk to Sleep bedtime story series by Adam Mansbach. The sarcastic potty-mouthed book is more for parents than children." -- Access "Big [expletive] news! Adam Mansbach, the author of the 2011 New York Times bestseller Go the Fk to Sleep is back with another brutally honest book for parents. It's called Fk, Now There Are Two of You , and you need it in your home library (just not on the shelves the kids can reach)." -- TODAY Parents "Now the author of Go the Fk to Sleep , Adam Mansbach, is coming back with another delightfully apt and crude children's book. It's a book for parents who've welcomed their second child and need to explain the new baby to their first offspring, it's going to be titled Fk, Now There Are Two of You --and it's going to be narrated by LARRY DAVID. I don't know how many of you out there have ever thought, 'I really wish Larry David was here to read my child a bedtime story,' but I'm sure you're all thinking it now, and amazingly, this is a wild, wild dream that's going to come true." -- Funny or Die "Adam Mansbach's book Fk, Now There are Two of You , the second sequel to the best-selling Go the Fk to Sleep , addresses what it's like to add a second kid to the mix--and nothing is sugarcoated. That's why the prickly 72-year-old comedian [Larry David] is the perfect narrator." -- TODAY Parents , from a feature on Larry David's audio narration "Adam Mansbach, the author of Go the Fk to Sleep , is back with another brutally honest book for tired parents: Fk, Now There Are Two of You . As the sequel's title implies, it's all about the roller coaster that is welcoming a second child into the family." -- PopSugar "Mansbach hit exactly the right nerve for exhausted parents who were ready to throw their hands up in the air." -- Did You Know? " Fk, Now There are Two of You , seems brilliantly aimed at skewering the frustrating family dynamic of suddenly having two children to deal with instead of just one. Being an American family of four can be tough as shit, and but thankfully, the 'f**k' book series is here to help." -- Fatherly Adam Mansbach famously gave voice to two of parenting's primal struggles in Go the Fuck to Sleep and You Have to Fucking Eat --the often-imitated, never-duplicated pair of New York Times best sellers that ushered in a new era of radical honesty in humor books for parents.
