Two children play several games of chance trying to figure out what is mathematically fair.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Grade 1-3?Probability as it relates to fairness is the theme of this easy reader. As David and Kristy play, several issues of equity arise. Who gets to choose the game? Do both have an equal shot at winning checkers if a piece is missing? Introducing the topic through games is appropriate, as children in this age group are very sensitive to fairness. Written in the style of a theatrical play for two readers, the format may hinder comprehension for those solo readers who haven't yet been exposed to plays. The story is contrived and does not stand on its own. Simple, unexceptional illustrations support the text, and educationally sound activities logically extend the concepts in the story. This book may serve as a useful tool for parents who wish to discuss mathematical ideas with their children, but it is not a first purchase.?Sharon R. Pearce, San Antonio Public Library, TX
