Mirror Mirror: A Book of Reversible Verse


Awesome. Clever. Challenging, Entertaining. All these words describe Mirror Mirror. Selectively chosen words are written and phrased vertically in just such a way that they tell one perspective of a story when read, and an opposite way when the text is is rewritten in reverse.


Each poem addresses a different fairy tale, from one characters perspective to another's. The illustrations are a treat since they reflect the words through the images with a "half and half" design that fits together.
