Singer, M. (2010). Mirror, Mirror. NY: Dutton.
There are two sides to every story or in this case two poems. Mirror, Mirror is a collection based on famous fairy tales. You will read about Snow White, Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Beauty and the Beast and many others. However, each poem has two different sides with two different meanings because the poems are written in reverse. When read one way you get the perspective of the character but when reading the opposite poem you get the perspective of the opposing character. Children will definitely enjoy reading this book.
I honestly never knew reversos existed until I read this book. My favorite one in the book is called "Longing for Beauty." I cannot believe that the author herself created reversos, very creative!
