Do Not Open!: The Story of Pandora's Box    by Joan Holub & Dani Jones Order:  USA  Can Simon & Schuster, 2014 (2014) Hardcover, Softcover, e-Book     Reviewed by Bob Walch The retelling of the Greek myth about a young woman who lets her curiosity get her in all sorts of trouble is the subject of this Level One, Read-to-Read paperback. Even though she was warned to not open a box sent to her by the gods, Pandora could not hold her curiosity in check. When she finally did get the top off the box, out flew all sorts of nasty bugs. The trouble bugs caused problems for Pandora and everyone else in Greece. It was only when a fairy named Hope was also released from the box that the situation improved a little. The story ends on a positive note: 'Sometimes bad things happen But we hope things will get better. And we hope For good things to happen.' This is a nice way to introduce a young reader to a famous Greek myth while also encouraging the child to work on his or her reading skills. The illustrations are excellent and there's an interesting storyline here.
