Synopsis

Ezra is eight years old, and his afternoon is going great until a man he has never met walks into his backyard wearing a whistle.

"Good news. You have a new Personal Brainer."

"A what?"

Coach B gives him one exercise. Start with two. Add the answer to itself. Keep going.

It seems like nothing. Two plus two is four. Four plus four is eight. Any kid can do it.

But every time Ezra gets one right, the world gets a little bigger. The fence turns into a mushroom. The house disappears. A staircase made of light climbs up past the treetops, past the clouds, past the planets. And somewhere around one hundred twenty-eight, Ezra hits the wall every kid hits.

"I can't do that one."

"Can't?" says Coach B. "Or haven't figured it out yet?"

HOW HIGH CAN YOU GET? is a picture book built around one of the most powerful mental math exercises there is: doubling. Ezra starts at 2 and ends up past 1,048,576 without ever solving anything harder than the step he is standing on. Kids can play along on every single page.

It is also a story about the moment a child stops saying "I can't" and starts saying "I haven't figured it out yet."

Includes The Challenge, a My Personal Best tracking chart with ten levels to unlock, and Coach B's Personal Brainer Tricks, so kids can keep playing after the book is closed.

Ages 7 to 10. Also great for reading aloud to younger kids who just want to watch the world get bigger.

From the author of Where Do Helicopters Come From?

So, how high can YOU get?
