I need a book about probability! Will someone please make this pitch into a book?! #Math #STEM #Dogs #DVPit

A story about probability. Mei and Jimmy are best friends and also rivals. They each own three dogs and love having them compete. Jimmy’s dogs always beat Mei’s. Can Mei ever win the contest? Probably, if she uses Dog Math!
