Engaging Intro to Probability for little ones
The book takes the seemingly abstract idea of Bayesian Probability and breaks it down into colorful, engaging illustrations and simple language that even the youngest readers can grasp. The playful approach to learning makes it a joy for both parent and child during storytime. Highly recommended for parents who want to instill a love for learning in their little ones (0 - 3 years old).

This is an A+ gift for a baby or toddler if you're the nerdy / academic person in the parents' life.

My 3yo nephew really enjoys flipping through it. I won't pretend that he's ready for the AP Stats exam just yet, but he likes the illustrations and it's a fun book to read to him.

I am a graduate student working towards a PhD and bought this for a friend/coworker having a baby. She uses bayesian stats for her work, and one of our advisors/committee members is a big Bayseian guy. The writing is definitely kid friendly and it is explained in a way easy to understand. I honestly wish this was the first thing I was shown in my PhD when being introduced to Bayesian statistics haha

Did I buy this book for a PhD level bayesian statistics class? Yes, absolutely. Did it actually help me understand definitions I was confused on? Also, Yes, absolutely. Will I then give it to my 2 year old niece after I'm done with it? Yes, 100%.

Buy this book. 10/10, it's literally great for everyone, no matter their age or skill level. :)

Our toddler grasped the concept through the first read and counted along with all the cookies on each page. When it discussed the 1:10 Candy cookie and probability of getting a bite with no candy, she had the answer before I could even read it.

Love this! It is very similar in style to the 'Evolution for Babies' book - which I also have. Husband and myself are both scientists, so we are slightly biased when purchasing books for our infant daughter due in about a month. In typical Bayesian fashion, this book has a surprise twist as well. Never too early to teach them right! Think we'll celebrate baby girl's one week old milestone by reading her this book

My sis and brother-in-law are having a baby, and my brother-in-law's PhD research heavily used Bayesian probability, so the moment I saw this book show up on my suggestions, I had to buy it. My brother-in-law laughed so much when he saw the book. Thank you for writing it!

It is not clear who this book is intended to. My two-year sold was interested, but I don’t think he could grasp the concept. I do think, however, that the idea is presented the simplest way possible and that it will be useful one day, if not at his age.

This is one of the best in the set, explaining Bayesian probability using cookies. It’s essentially a lesson in attending to base rates, really. But this lesson is never overtly stated. Maybe that’s not a bad thing.
