A Very Improbable Story

by Edward Einhorn

Edward Einhorn's 'A Very Improbable Story' (2008), a title in the Charlesbridge Math Adventure series, introduces the concept of probability (and, to an extent, fractions) to young readers. The story follows Ethan, a young boy who woke up one morning with a talking, and rather bossy, black cat on his head.
