The book that dare not speak its name gets a followup this week, with the publication of a sequel to the sleeper hit of 2011, Go the F*ck To Sleep.

The tongue-in-cheek bedtime book for parents was picked up by UK publisher Canongate after soaring to the top of Amazon’s bestseller chart a month before it was due to be published by the small US press Akashic Books.

Written by novelist Adam Mansbach after his own daughter Vivien failed to nod off one night, it won over exhausted parents across the world with its combination of cutesy rhymes and expletive-ridden pleas, luring performers as varied as Samuel L Jackson and Noel Fielding and Thandie Newton to record clips of themselves reading the book.

The new book, You Have To F**king Eat - published simultaneously by Canongate in the UK, Akashic Books in the US and Text in Australia - deals with the other daily combat zone of family life. Watch Stephen Fry narrating a familiar story which makes animals of all who have ever ventured into the jungle of junior din-dins.
