12-13-09 B is for Beer by Tom Robbins – Fiction

4 – This is a fun little book that tells the reader all about beer by following a 5-year-old (almost 6) girl. Gracie wants to know about beer so she asks her uncle Moe who tells her some very strange things. She takes these snippets of knowledge and gets herself kicked out of Sunday school. then on her sixth birthday, when everything has gone wrong, she chugs a can of beer. That doesn’t go especially well but it does cause her to have a visit from the Beer Fairy. Written in the style of a children’s book, B is for Beer is a humorous read that has more serious undertones if you bother to look.
