From the incomparable Jon Klassen comes a board book for young readers who relish things that go bump in the night - while feeling safely tucked into their own house, with plenty of somebodies around.

Here are all the things in this house: a chair, a clock on the wall, a stool, a lamp. And more. What's missing from this house? Somebody. This is the house with nobody in it. Well, there might be something . . . Designed as an oversize board book, this story takes young ones through a recognizable, cozy house, while die cuts introduce just a hint of precarity. This is the house with nobody in it--or is it? Ideal for children whose older siblings are fans of Jon Klassen's The Skull--readers who aren't quite ready for "creepy" but are totally on board with being gently spooked--this is classic Klassen, revealing a bit of mystery out there before bringing us back into the familiar . . . shifty eyes and all.
