Mirror Mirror: A Book of Reversible Verse
Marilyn Singer, Josee Massee
Hardcover
(Dutton Juvenile, March 4, 2010)
With 6 starred reviews, 8 best of the year lists, and over 20 state award nominations, everyone is raving about "Mirror Mirror"! "Remarkable." "The Washington Post" "This mind-bending poetry is accompanied by Masse's equally intelligent, equally amusing art." "Time Out New York for Kids" What s brewing when two favorites poetry and fairy tales are turned (literally) on their heads? It s a revolutionary recipe: an infectious new genre of poetry and a lovably modern take on classic stories.First, read the poems forward (how old-fashioned!), then reverse the lines and read again to give familiar tales, from Sleeping Beauty to that Charming Prince, a delicious new spin. Witty, irreverent, and warm, this gorgeously illustrated and utterly unique offering holds a mirror up to language and fairy tales, and renews the fun and magic of both."
