Adam Mansbach - Böcker

Dom är ju söta, i den åldern. För det mesta. Men ibland ... Och i synnerhet när du vill slappa framför TV:n eller med en bok, och ungen vill inte, vill inte, VILL inte sova! Medge att då vill du helst ...! Gör inte det! Sätt dig ner med en kopp te – eller kaffe – istället och läs den här bilderboken. Den är till dig, och särskilt nu. Känn igen dig. Le lite. Och slappna av. Och sen när du har läst klart och slappnat av, då går du in igen till din söta krabat. Och om hen ännu inte somnat av sig själv – stoppa om, pussa och läs en bilderbok till för din ängel. Fast kanske inte den här. Men vem vet, ungarna idag – hen kanske också tycker om den här boken. EN bibel för utmattade förlädrar. New York Times Sov för i helvete, sov är en parodi på godnattsagor för barn. […] Poetiskt, humoristiskt, kärleksfullt och med mängder av svordomar skapar författaren enorm igenkänning kring de förbjudna känslorna av irritation kring nattning när barnet inte somnar. Barnet ska dricka, gå på toa, prata och gud vet vad. Författaren har skapat en unik, rolig bok på rim som framkallar många skratt. Ricardo Cortés suggestiva och uttrycksfulla illustrationer tillsammans med Lena Ollmarks nyöversättning bidrar till intrycket. Bättre uppiggande läsning för en sliten småbarnsförälder är svår att hitta. Helhetsbetyg 5 Petra Norman,BTJ-häftet nr 24, 2019

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Adam Mansbach comes an electrifying action-adventure tale set in the dangerous terrain of the Tex-Mex borderland In The Dead Run, outlaw with a conscience Jess Galvan made a devil's bargain with El Cucuy, a fearsome, five-hundred-year-old Aztec priest and crime kingpin determined to bring about hell on earth. Now, months later, Galvan's mind is infested by the ancient monster. No longer able to trust his own judgment, he is estranged from his daughter, Sherry-and from his own body. But Cucuy's presence has endowed Galvan with superhuman abilities. Meanwhile, shell-shocked from her confrontation with Cucuy, Sherry is living with Sheriff Bob Nichols and his girlfriend, psychologist Ruth Cantwell. And in the bowels of Ojos Negros prison, a territory once controlled by the ancient priest, the drug cartels are at war with one another and on the hunt for Galvan.

An instant New York Times bestseller! From the bestselling author of Go the **** to Sleep and healthy eating advocate Camila Alves McConaughey comes a whimsical role reversal in which picky eater parents are confronted by their three kids, with hilarious resultsThese three kids are determined to get their parents to put down the ice cream, cake, and chicken fried steak to just try one bite of healthy whole foods. But it's harder than it looks when these over-the-top gagging, picky parents refuse to give things like broccoli and kale a chance. Kids will love the jaunty rhyme that's begging to be read aloud and the opportunity to be way smarter—and healthier—than their parents.

Go the Fuck to Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don't always send a toddler sailing off to dreamland. Profane, affectionate and refreshingly honest, it captures the familiar and unspoken tribulations of putting your child to bed for the night. Colourfully illustrated and hilariously funny, this is a breath of fresh air for parents new, old and expectant.**(You probably shouldn't read this to your children.)

From the author of the international bestseller GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP comes a book about the other great parental frustration: getting your little angel to eat something that even vaguely resembles a normal meal. Profane, loving and deeply cathartic, YOU HAVE TO FUCKING EAT breaks the code of child-rearing silence, giving new, old, grand- and expectant parents a much-needed chance to laugh about a universal problem.**(You probably shouldn't read it to your children.)

It turns out that two is a million more kids than one.Adam Mansbach famously gave voice to two of parenting's primal struggles in Go the Fuck to Sleep and You Have to Fucking Eat. Now Fuck, Now There Are Two of You tackles a new addition to the family and 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.
