"Nearly a decade ago, the world was enthralled by a satirical children's book by Adam Mansbach called Go The F**k To Sleep that paired kid-friendly illustrations with a cuss-tinged message about the frustrations of being a new parent...Now, with Mansbach and Brozman coming back for another installment, another famous guy has leant his voice to the inappropriate audiobook version...Larry David (who must think the word 'f**k' is pretty, pretty, pretty good) will read the audiobook for F**k, Now There Are Two of You."
The A.V. Club
"The cheeky follow-up is about a household that has grown to a family of four, which (surprise) is harder than one kid. Mansbach knows his material well, having had two kids in less than two years. The result: A hilarious, affectionate monologue addressed to the older sibling. Not to be read to a child."
New York Post, Buzz Book pick
"Larry David will narrate the audiobook version of a popular children's tale, in what may be the most sarcastic, dark-humored bedtime story known to man."
CBS News
"The third installment in [Mansbach's] series of 'children's books for adults' is F**k, Now There Are Two of Youan 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
"Adam Mansbach, who famously told the world's children, Go the F**k 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, F**k, Now There Are Two of You."
Washington Post Book Club
"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, f*ck?' 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 F**k 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 F**k To Sleep is getting a f*cking sequel, F**k, Now There Are Two of You."
Yahoo! Parents
"You know the saying, 'It's funny because it's true'? That certainly applies to the wicked funny adult-oriented children's book F**k, Now There Are Two of You by Adam Mansbach with illustrations by Owen Brozman."
Baltimore OUTLoud, included in Holiday Gift Guide
"Nothing can prepare you for having two children, but if you're on the precipice, it's worth considering that 'for yearsf**king years!there will not be a time no one's sh*tting 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, F**k, Now There Are Two of You is being recorded by one of the greatest (and Jewish!!) comedic minds of our era: Larry David."
Kveller
"From the older child feeling jealous over the new baby, to the parents never having time for adult things, to the exhaustion that comes from trying to handle two energetic childrena lot of people will be able to relate and will find this book both hilarious and honest."
Read Yourself Happy
"Many will be familiar with the first two books in this series; Go the F**k to Sleep and You Have to F**king Eat, and this one is in the same vein, written by and for weary parents everywhere. It voices and confirms the same fears all parents of two or more children have; what have we done? Why did we think one kid was hard? Who is going to pay for your college education? The book's text rhymes, and each page is complete with a full-colour illustration depicting the chaos that is parenthood, so it's entertaining on both levels."
