This Ready to Read level two is easier than the Hamster Holmes books that are also a level two. However, Joanne Holub has written other easy readers, including Step Into Reading. If this was a Step Into Reading book, it would probably be a level three. It’s important when working with children that parents know that just because a book says it’s a level two does not mean that level two is it the same across everyone publisher. This is the standard story of Pandora from Greek myth. The story is nothing new and it’s decently well done for the age.

Simple explanation of Pandora's Box but done well for a level 2 reader.
