Tomorrow : Adventures in an Uncertain World [Hardcover]

Bradley Trevor Greive (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2003

Bradley Trevor Greive's inspirational humor books are the luminous "little gems". His volumes are refreshingly original creations, driven by innocent (and often hilarious) animal images combined with just a few well-chosen words of text on each page. His "simple" tomes touch readers in a giant way.

BTG's Tomorrow, extends his remarkable reputation for creating profound books from life's most basic and enduring questions. Tomorrow reflects on staying sane in a world of change, conflict, confusion, and seeming madness. More than dealing with change, though, Tomorrow advises readers on how to maintain their footing and optimism even when the very ground seems to shift beneath their soles.

New and old fans alike will instantly identify with BTG's inviting format and probing insights. It is impossible to read this little book without smiling and laughing out loud.

Tomorrow's topic undoubtedly resonates with seriousness and concern. But BTG's magic includes his proven ability to mix universal themes with fresh perspectives and howlingly funny photos of animals both in and out of the wild. From a truly bizarre-looking baboon to a tiger that abhors lemon drops, the animal personalities in this book act as irresistible partners in delivering the author's message to the very heart of the reader.

Tomorrow will be here before you know it. Tomorrow is the perfect gift book for our time.

More About the Author

Since the debut of his international best-seller The Blue Day Book, Bradley Trevor Greive has become an international publishing sensation. A former Australian paratrooper, BTG left the army to pursue more creative misadventures. He has been bitten by wild monkeys and rabid bats and was accepted into the Russian cosmonaut program--though those incidents hopefully were unrelated. He spends most of his time in a tiny Tasmanian hamlet with his three very large dogs.

You cannot get a better message and uplifting photos for $10. It is such a bargin. Yes, I know the preview here at Amazon does not show you much, but this little book will inspire you, make you think about life, and is a wonderful little gift to a friend or loved one. It is also fine for children. I like "Tomorrow," "Blue Day" (perfect for friends feeling sad), and "Friends to the End." I love this author work and if he is reading this, thank you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid wisdom wrapped around cute pictures of animals, October 23, 2011

This review is from: Tomorrow : Adventures in an Uncertain World (Hardcover)

This book is a collection of pictures of animals engaged in various actions with captions that relate it to human situations, most often problems. Of course the animals are generally depicted as being very cute, so it is easy to emit the proverbial, "Awww!" The captions do contain some significant wisdom for working your way through life, my favorite is on page 51. The caption is:

"Somehow, it never occurs to them to wonder how credible the little bird's source was in the first place."

The image is a bird that has perched on the tail of a zebra.
Wisdom is something that you can never have too much of, so the book is valuable in that respect. Furthermore, if you like cute pictures of animals, then you will enjoy what you see.
