The content of these books are great but the quality of the book itself is poor. It begins tearing on the first time you open it.
by Dragon
I think this could have worked two ways – as an amusing approach that reaches adults who are Bayesian beginners, or (better but even more difficult) also as a book that would genuinely appeal to a kid. Not sure this hits either button, for me.

Simple book, my baby gets it. She also likes cookies.

Chances are most people you know won’t be able to understand this book let alone the baby … I’m not sure what the pedagogical theory might be behind this book but from my perspective it was pretty disappointing.

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.

Great books, building up the collection
by Vladislav P.
I really wanted to read something that would Bayesian Probability “for Dummies”. From the book title, it seemed like it’d give me a good understanding of the Bayes rule, in a very accessible way. If it really gave a great explanation, keeping it engaging and simple, yet giving me good intuitive understanding – the book would get 5 stars and I’d buy an unlimited amount of similar books on the same subject.
Unfortunately, the execution is lacking. Obviously, it wouldn’t be of any value to parents trying to make the subject understandable and engaging to their kids. And to me, as a grown adult, it didn’t present the subject in an intuitive, or engaging, or very understandable way. Seems like a rough outline of a blog post which could’ve been good.
The two stars that I did give are for an excellent premise – there SHOULD be books tackling difficult subjects in easy to understand and intuitive ways.
