Let's hope I don't slip up on my next daycare visit with this rendition of I'm a Little (Tipsy) Teapot :)
THE perfect baby shower gift, or for the mama/daddy twice over.

Board Book format for a cocktail book?! YUP!
What a funny a quirky way to make a drink book. I wanted to read everything. The illustrations are perfect.I may not have a baby but I sure want to make a "Mary Had A little Dram."

Not only is this entertaining and well presented but it's quite clever and would be great as a gift.

Just for the record.... I don't drink much at all. But I am loving these Cocktail books.
My youngest kid (23) found this one at the library when they were looking for other recipe books. They knew I would love it and I did.
This is a must have for all New Mom's and even us Seasoned Mom's will get a kick out of it. Taking old little nursery rhymes and changing them slightly and adding a cocktail recipe to the page.... genius. The art is wonderful also.
Rhymes and Drinks like "Rum a dub dub" and "John Junior Jagermeister Schmidt" (admit it... you sang that one didn't you??? Not to worry, I know you aren' the only one).
Order this one for next Mother's day. Or your next baby shower! It will be a hit... even for those of us that don't drink :)

My Review: This is such a great little book and perfect for parents of little ones. It is in a board book format to blend in with the nursery. Each page has a different altered nursery rhyme to suit the coordinating drink recipe and it also has a fun little parenting tidbit at the bottom. I had a lot of fun with this one and have noted a few of the drinks I want to try out on those exhausting days.

this was cute and clever with amusing rhymes and enjoyable artwork, but it didn't contain one actual drink I am interested in making.

I was so thrilled when my personally signed copy (thanks, Powell's Books!) arrived in the mail yesterday. I tore open the box and immediately laughed my way through this entire gem of a book. (Maybe I should state here that I neither have kids nor plan to...but c'mon, it's Tim Federle!)
This is now my go-to gift for expecting parents (ok, maybe parents of toddlers, too). With hilarious nursery rhymes paired with delicious cocktails, parents are SURE to frequently pull this one off the shelf...along with a delicious adult beverage.
Tim, you are a genius. I'm so glad you've taken the publishing world by storm as you have!

Many more alien-to-me sounding recipes. Not really that into whiskey.

Excellent! Not only clever but a source of good fun. "Last of the Mojitos". And a source of great recipes.
