Mirror Mirror

Singer, M. (2010). Mirror Mirror. New York, New York: Dutton Children's Books. Mirror Mirror is a book of reversed poems. The poems are from fairy tales and telling two sides of the story. The beautiful bright colors in the illustrations show the tale of the two characters. The imagery bestowed by the words in the poem flow through the art work as separated illustrations, yet one setting. This book can help students understand the elements of poetry and identify them through the book such as wordplay and the solutions portrayed in the story. Students can work in a group to compose a reverse poem from a chosen fairy tale.
