This would hardly be considered great literature, but worth the five minutes that it took to read it. Despite the language, which many could deem offensive, the little book was whimsical , humorous and definitely right on target for those parents (or grandparents) who have experienced the finicky eater stage. Illustrations are delightful too!! How to rate this? Perhaps 3.5 would be more suitable. I see in the GR community reviews that many folks granted this book 4-5 stars, but despite the fact that it's amusing, I think it is a trendy little booklet, undeserving of high ranking. I feel that if I had children, this book would be my calling card. It contains everything that parents don't want to say out loud. "You Have to Fucking Eat" is the sequel to the wildly popular "Go the Fuck to Sleep" and follows in the same vein. It's wildly inappropriate, hilarious, and oh so true. Here is a short little excerpt:"Your cute little tummy is rumblingAnd pancakes are your favorite treat.I'm kind of surprised that you suddenly hate them.That's bullshit. Stop lying and eat."Seriously, how can you not love this. It's the best picture book for adults (parents specifically) on the market and is a must buy for Christmas.
