A series of \n\u003cem\u003eGo the F*ck to Sleep\u003c\/em\u003e books followed. And why not? The novelist hit on a hilarious conceit--merging syrupy-sweet kid-lit prose with R-rated kickers--that kept on giving. As happens, children grow older. Yet don't they still need some advice when heading off to college? Yes, those doorstopper guides on best colleges might help, but they're not quite as funny as Mansbach's latest book . . . Yet more laughs for overwhelmed parents--as they become empty nesters.-- \"Kirkus Reviews\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA new Bible for weary parents.-- \"New York Times, on Go the F*ck to Sleep\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIncredibly appealing.-- \"NPR, on Go the F*ck to Sleep\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA parenting zeitgeist . . .
