A Children's Book About Beer?Yes, believe it or not - butB Is for Beeris also a book for adults, and bear in mind that it's the work ofmaverick bestselling novelist Tom Robbins, inter-nationally known forhis ability to both seriously illuminate and comically entertain.nce upon a time (right about now) there was a planet (how about thisone?) whose inhabitants consumed thirty-six billion gallons of beer eachyear (it's a fact, you can Google it). Among those affected, each inhis 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.Populated by the aforementioned characters - and as charming as it may be subversive -B Is for Beerinvolves readers, young and old, in a surprising, far-reachinginvestigation into the limits of reality, the transformative powers ofchildren, and, of course, the ultimate meaning of a tall, cold brewski.
