Bayesian Probability for Babies: 1 (Baby University)

Excellent, though the key lesson is left unsaid
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.

Really brilliant idea, poor execution
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.

Great content but poor quality material
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.

Not for babies
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.

Great idea that doesn't quiet work?
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.

This board book is too cute! (And smart!)
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.

Half a joke
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.
