In the groundbreaking tradition of DK's New York Times bestseller Pick Me Up, this book uses the same irreverent style to explore all the things THEY don't want you know about. From the Mona Lisa's hidden past to the history of Area 51, Do Not Open explores lost worlds, unravels secret codes, and lets readers step through the looking glass to see if they can handle the truth!

Summary: FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
Comment: What a great purchase! This book should have a warning on the front cover stating "Do not open unless you have 45 minutes to spare". After me and the kids got it out of the box and opened it we could not put it down!!!! We went through the entire book page for page stopping at the recognizable stories and reading the captions immediately. This book is packed full of VERY interesting facts and stories and is put together in such a clever way that it held my childrens interest from the minute I opened it to the time I finaly closed it 45 minutes later. My kids immediately started to come up with a schedule of who would take it to school first to show their class and friends.

I am extremely pleased with this purchase and feel like I got a steal at the price it was purchased for. We will be purchasing other books from this author I'm sure, esspecially if they have the same format. What a great idea to set it up as I think one reviewer said before I purchased it, like visiting a museum.

This is the first review I think I have ever written as its not very often when things I've purchase stand out as very worth the money. This purchase was as it had the whole familys interest and will continue to for a long time. (finding a cool looking book on line-hours on the computer, making a purchase-17+ dollars, time spent with kids reading book everyone was rivotted by-PRICELESS. Thank you.

Summary: Great gift for preteen boys
Comment: I bought this book as a Christmas gift for my 11 year old nephew and he LOVED it. A great gift idea for preteen boys, and possibly even older young men.

Summary: Entertained For Hours
Comment: I purchased this for my 9 year old son who loves to read.
I gave it to him at the start of a 13 hour car trip. He read it for the first 5 hours without a peep other than asking for some word definitions. He went back to it for at least another two hours later on and picked it up today after reading it all day yesterday.
I would highly recommend this book for its short but interesting factoids. It is appealing to look at and easy to jump around. The variety of subject matter will have anyone interested.
