(2) K-3 Illustrated by Josée Masse. As in Mirror Mirror, poems subvert traditional tales by offering two points of view on a story: what goes down on the left-hand of the page goes up on the right, with line breaks and punctuation revised for strategic effect. The twelve referenced tales include "Puss in Boots," "The Little Mermaid," and "The Twelve Dancing Princesses," and acrylic illustrations mirror the poems' structures.
