From the peerless 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.
