Summary: Very good
Comment: After a storm Miss Moody and her cat go collecting like they always do. But this time they find a bottle with the message do not open. They decide to ignore the warning and open it only to find a genie. Miss Moody wishes that the gene would turn into a mouse and her cat eats him up.
This is a wonderful story and I really enjoyed reading it. The details about the ocean and the smell of the salty air really put me right into the book. The author really does a good job of keeping the reader in suspense about what is in the bottle. I especially liked the ending when Miss Moody tricked the genie.
I think the author was trying to convey a message that said it is ok to be adventurous but be smart. It wasn't a very wise decision to ignore the message on the bottle, but everything worked out ok because she was smart about it.

Summary: Outwitting Evil
Comment: This is an irresistible story. It's impressive how Turkle packs chills, excitement and a lesson in courage into so few pages. The pictures and text are bold, scary and reassuring all at once. We've borrowed it from the library repeatedly , over the course of three children and ten years. Now it's time to buy our own copy so one day the grandchildren can enjoy it, too!

Summary: Do Not Open! is an excellent creative writing springboard
Comment: I use this enchanting picture book at the end of my matter/liquid unit as a creative writing for my fourth graders and they love it! They all want to be the evil in the bottle or trap their teacher in the bottle! Even my reluctant writers love the chance to write to this book
