The House with Nobody in It

From the bestselling Jon Klassen comes a house-shaped, peep-through board book for young readers with a thrill for 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. 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 recognisable, cosy house, while die cuts introduce just a hint of precarity. This is the house with nobody in it ― or is it?

This is classic Klassen, revealing a bit of mystery before bringing us back into the familiar … shifty eyes and all.
