B is For Beer Paperback / softback

A Children's Book for Grownups - A Grown-up Book for Children 'Have you ever wondered why your daddy likes beer so much?

Have you wondered, before you fall asleep at night, why he sometimes acts kind of "funny" after he's been drinking beer?

Maybe you've even wondered where beer comes from, because you're pretty sure it isn't from a cow.

Well, Gracie Perkel wondered those same things.' So begins bestselling author Tom Robbins' first fiction in five years (and perhaps his most audacious ever), B Is for Beer explores various aspects of beer culture - ancient, modern, and otherworldly; brutal, infantile and divine - and dramatizes the surprising things that happen when the life of a feisty nursery school kid named Gracie Perkel intersects with each. Billed by Robbins as 'the first children's book about beer,' this inspired work taps into the barrel of life's existential mysteries and is, of course, truly meant to sit proudly with his other novels in the grown-up literature section.
