A rock interrupts the perfect spot

A small, fixed place to stand becomes the starting point for a picture-book story about a rock descending from the sky. Jon Klassen brings together visual suspense and deadpan humor as the premise opens onto questions of friendship, fate, and a shared vision of the future. The description also points to a subtler thread: the uneasy sense that something is off, even when its cause is hard to identify. The result is a comic setup with room for both physical surprise and reflection.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous picture books
  • Families interested in stories about friendship and unexpected interruptions
  • Readers drawn to visual suspense and comic premises

Book overview

The instant #1 New York Times bestseller!

Look up! From the Caldecott Medal-winning creator of the hat trilogycomes a new deadpan gem.


There is a spot.
It is a good spot.
It is the perfect spot to stand.
There is no reason to ever leave.
But somewhere above there is also a rock.
A rock from the sky.

Here comes The Rock from the Sky, a hilarious meditation on the workings of friendship, fate, shared futuristic visions, and that funny feeling you get that there's something off somewhere, but you just can't put your finger on it. Merging broad visual suspense with wry wit, celebrated picture book creator Jon Klassen gives us a wholly original comedy for the ages.
