Mirror Mirror: A Book of Reversible Verse

(1) K-3 Illustrated by Josée Masse. Through a poetic invention she dubs the reverso, Singer meditates on twelve familiar folktales, and, via the magic of shifting line breaks and punctuation, their shadows. Each free-verse poem has two stanzas, set on facing columns, where the second is the first reversed. Similarly bifurcated illustrations, Shrek-bright, face the cleverly constructed and insightful poems.
