Reach for this book when your child is fascinated by the mechanics of the world around them but finds the abstract nature of subtraction a bit daunting. It is the perfect bridge for a preschooler or kindergartner who thrives on visual logic and needs to see math in motion rather than just on a worksheet. This story follows Ben and his mother as they board an elevator in a magical building where each floor brings a new surprise. As the elevator descends, the book introduces the concept of taking numbers away in a way that feels like an adventure rather than a lesson. By turning math into a series of 'magic' floor reveals, the story builds confidence and curiosity. It is ideal for children aged 4 to 8 who are moving from basic counting to more complex arithmetic, showing them that numbers are part of the everyday magic of their world.
