Bookroo's summary
Pandora's curiosity gets the better of her when she accidentally opens a forbidden box, unleashing chaos and ruining its contents. With only one cupcake left, she hopes for her mother's forgiveness. Will this last remnant be enough to mend the bond? Discover a playful twist on a classic myth as Pandora learns a valuable lesson about curiosity and consequences.
From the publisher
When Pandora is warned by her mother not to open a box, her spirited curiosity trumps her obedience. Pandora harmlessly touches the box, innocently leans on the box, and eventually, albeit accidentally, bursts the box open! The cupcakes that were hidden inside are ruined, except for one last vestige, which Pandora presents in the hope that her mother still loves her. Leslie Patricelli’s depictions of this physical comedy bring a lively narrative to Joan Holub’s carefully crafted text. Includes a summary of the original Pandora’s Box myth at the end.
