A Very Improbable Story

Ethan is a young boy who one day woke up with a cat named Odds on his head. The cat wouldn’t leave the boy alone until he played the game of probability. This is a fun story that teaches the concept of probability in a practical and easy-to-understand way. The fact that there's a cat on the boy's head is very humorous and the challenge he is given motivates him to succeed so that he can go to his soccer game (without a cat on his head). The illustrations are entertaining and very expressive. You will also like the additional information provided at the back of the book about the pioneers in probability (with illustrations of men with cats on their heads).

“A Very Improbable Story” is a great read for children around the ages of 7 to 10 or students from the second to the fifth grade. Books like these help show how math skills are essential in everyday life, and that math can also be fun. You and your child will really enjoy reading this story together.
