Don't Open The Jar!: Story of Pandora

Pandora wants to know EVERYTHING. What is inside a cloud? What do goats think about? Why is the sea so blue? In a little white house on a hill above the sea lives a girl called Pandora. She lives with Epimetheus, who is big and kind, and likes to do things first and think about them afterwards. Then one morning a gift arrives at the door: a big, round clay jar with a heavy lid, tied shut with green cord - and one very clear rule. Don't open the jar. So the jar sits in the corner. And Pandora looks at it. At breakfast. At lunch. At bedtime, in the dark... Don't Open the Jar! is a warm, funny retelling of the Greek myth of Pandora for children aged 4 to 6 - and for anyone who has ever simply had to know what was inside.
