Quirky as Ever...
Tom Robbins (Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates, Villa Ingognito) delivers yet another irreverent tale, this one about beer.
Written as a fairy tale for adults though through the eyes of a child, B is for Beer introduces us to Gracie Perkel, a six-year-old who craves to spend time with her brewski-loving Uncle Moe. Forthwith comes factoids about beer culture, from ancient to modern, and loads of Robbins' sometimes subversive/farcical humor.
Whether you do or don't have beer in your fridge, B is for Beer offers an off-beat but valuable take on how to talk to your kids about a beverage that is heavily advertised in modern culture.
