Mirror, Mirror


Singer, L. (2010). Mirror, Mirror.  NY:  Dutton.

An extraordinary book of poems, featuring your favorite fairy tales.  Singer uses reverso, where you can read a poem down for one side of the story, and read it up (with only changes to punctuation and capitalization) for a different side of the story.  The illustrations feature bright and warm colors that match the theme of the poem.  In order to tell both sides of the story, the author and illustrator divide each page of the book in half, giving readers a visual for both sides.
