These are delightful to read and read aloud, and they're a curricular dream for discussions of poetry, folklore, and point of view.

This volume is one to savor.

Follow Follow is one of Booklist's 30 Best Books of the Year, a Cybils Award finalist, and an IRA Teachers' Choices Reading List pick.

Masse's two-sided illustrations capture the changes in point of view, tone, and color.Singer's reversos present lyrical and evocative moments that will surprise and delight children and provide them with opportunities for critical discussion.

Singer's poetry begs to be read aloud as listeners savor Masse's accompanying illustrations. This is a must-have book for a library's poetry section as well as for any personal collection.

Singer and Masse's companion to Mirror Mirror is just as inspired as its predecessor.

Fun, thoughtful, beautifully written poems that employ a poetic form called a reverso to spin a familiar fairy tale in a new direction.

Genius!

Marilyn Singer's verse in Follow Follow practically dances down each page . . . the effect is miraculous and pithy.
