The story is about a little boy who imagines all sorts of funny creatures living in his house. For example, he finds "yeps on the steps" and a "nooth grush on his toothbrush." He also sees a "wasket in his basket" and a "zamp in a lamp." There's even a "yottle in the bottle" and a "Nureau in the bureau"! It's all about using your imagination to see the world in a playful way.
