Another great one in this series. Don’t let the category of picture book fool you, this series is information dense but broken down in smaller concepts for upper elementary learners to grasp bigger ideas. Great way to explain probability, chance, and sample groups. Thankful for the preread, and can’t wait to get it for my homeschool!

A cute book about probability and how to make sense of the odds using math. Although some parts might be repetitive in the book, it's only because the author is really trying to help you understand the concept of probability. There are a lot of examples given and the author also tries to word it in different ways so you can understand sometimes things may happen but it isn't all due to luck. It's due to probability and how likely something is going to happen. There's a helpful glossary at the end and the illustrations throughout the book are very helpful in helping young minds grasp this concept. My favorite part of the book are the activities listed at the end of the book. They are super helpful for kids to see probability in action. Due to the complexity of this topic, I think this book would be better for older kids, probably age 8 and above.

Thank you Flowerpot Press and NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for my honest review!

How Do You Make Your Own Luck introduces readers to the concept of probability and the ways it's used in everyday life. The author attempts to keep it simple and, for the most part, he is successful in this endeavor. However, there are moments in this book where the attempts fail. The language remains simple, but the way the concept is being presented might not be as readily understood by all readers, which makes it less enjoyable overall.

It does have games and ways to test probability that students and little ones may enjoy. Making these concepts hands-on is a nice way to try to engrain it into readers. Probability, while a math concept at its core, does have an importance to everyday life, and it doesn't hurt to begin teaching it early.
