With colorful photographs, lively explanations, and classic craft ideas, Bruce Goldstone's Awesome Autumn has created a festive and fascinating exploration of autumn's awesomeness.
This book has great vocabulary for math and science as it goes through what a possibility is, as well as probability, odds, and improbable situations. As it explains these ideas it also gives plenty of visuals and examples for students to follow along with. I wouldn't do a whole read aloud with this book, cover to cover, but the examples used in the book would be great for students to digest one at a time and work with. The back of the book also has plenty of ideas to incorporate in the class, such as making paper plate spinners and encouraging students to get hands on with possibility.… (more)
This is a great book because it uses pictures to explain estimating, and requires students to guess how many objects are in the picture. I would recommend this book to elementary students, especially late elementary. I think this would be a great book to use in a math classroom.

Excellent book for youngsters, and for anyone who thinks that they're "due" for a change of luck. No matter how many times you flip heads, there's always a 50% chance of heads again (assuming a fair coin of course). Possible, likely, probable, unlikely, improbable, impossible. Learn them when you're young so you don't throw money away gambling, or so you know how to read health and science news, etc. I definitely not only recommend this, but hope I can find more by the author.
