description:  A Children's Book About Beer? Yes believe it or notbut B Is for Beer 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. Once 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. Populated by the aforementioned charactersand as charming as it may be subversiveB Is for Beer 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.
