Two small fish discover a haunted house deep below the surface of the ocean. Are there ghosts inside? Vampires? What even IS this spooky place? A playful and fun nonfiction graphic picture book for 3-7-year-olds that asks questions and has sidebar facts, so kids won't even notice how much they're learning! When a whale dies, its body sinks to the bottom of the ocean floor and decomposes there, providing sustenance to many creatures. When it's picked clean, the bones create an eerie kind of structure--resembling a haunted house or whalebone mansion. Two small fish discover a whalebone mansion, enter at their own risk, and encounter a number of creepy creatures along the way. Told in a graphic-style format, with playful text that asks young readers questions and includes sidebars that provide additional facts, Welcome to Whalebone Mansion invites kids to a delightfully spooky, informational feast!

Laken is a former kindergarten teacher with a master's degree in curriculum and instruction. She loves to invite the littlest learners to discuss big concepts.

Bindy James is an illustrator based in Brisbane, Australia.
She has a degree in environmental science and one in graphic/motion design.
