(3) K-3 MathStart series. Illustrated by Marsha Winborn. Jack likes to eat pastrami for lunch, popcorn for snack time, pizza for dinner, and pistachio ice cream for dessert, but there's a chance he won't always get what he wants. Visual clues and Jack's thought bubbles help readers gauge the likelihood of his being disappointed, and in one instance, the story emphasizes the gap between certainty and probability. Cheery illustrations and related activities are included.
