"A spooky house tour, unafraid to redefine what board books are capable of achieving." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Peek through doors and windows to explore a mysterious house in this innovative shaped novelty book for young readers who relish the lightly spooky, from the Caldecott Medal-winning and New York Times bestselling Jon Klassen, creator of I Want My Hat Back and The Skull.

Well, there might be something . . . Designed as a sturdy keepsake to read, play with, and treasure, The House with Nobody in It takes readers through a recognizable, cozy house, while layered die-cut doors and windows throughout introduce a hint of intrigue. This is the house with nobody in it-or is it? Pairing the familiar with a touch of mystery, Jon Klassen proves once again to be a master of breaking the mold, playing with expectations . . . and delighting even the youngest of readers.
