B Is for Beer

A Children\'s Book About Beer?<\/div>Yes, believe it or not--but B Is for Beer<\/em> is also a book for adults, and bear in mind that it\'s the work of maverick bestselling novelist Tom Robbins, inter-nationally known for his ability to both seriously illuminate and comically entertain.<\/div>nce upon a time (right about now) there was a planet (how about this one?)

whose inhabitants consumed thirty-six billion gallons of beer each year (it\'s a fact, you can Google it). Among those affected, each in his or her own way, by all the bubbles, burps, and foam, was a smart, wide-eyed, adventurous kindergartner named Gracie; her distracted mommy; her insensitive dad; her non-conformist uncle; and a magical, butt-kicking intruder from a world within our world.<\/div>Populated by the aforementioned characters--and as charming as it may be subversive--B Is for Beer<\/em> involves readers, young and old, in a surprising, far-reaching investigation into the limits of reality, the transformative powers of children, and, of course, the ultimate meaning of a tall, cold brewski.
