MIRROR MIRROR

Josée Masse Marilyn Singer

Witty, irreverent, and exquisitely illustrated, this unique collection holds a cheeky mirror up to language and fairy tales, and renews the magic of both!

There are two sides to every story, from the princess and the frog, to the beauty and the beast, to Sleeping Beauty and that charming prince.

In this unique collection of reversible verse, classic fairy tales are turned on their heads. Literally. Read these clever poems from top to bottom. Then reverse the lines and read from bottom to top to give these well-loved stories a delicious new spin.

Marilyn Singer is an award-winning author of more than 90 children's books in a wide variety of genres.

Remarkable.

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

Masse's clever compositions play with symmetry, bringing this smart concept to its fullest effect.

Mirror Mirror is an ALA Notable Book, a New York Public Library Best 100 Children's Book of the Year, a Chicago Public Library Best of the Best Book of the Year, a Booklist Editors Choice, a Bank Street College of Education Best Book of the Year, a Washington Post Top 15 Children's Book of the Year, a Horn Book Fanfare Book, a Publishers Weekly Best Children's Book of the Year, a Land of Enchantment Book Award Winner, and one of Time Out New York Kids' 50 Best Books for Kids.

This mind-bending poetry is accompanied by Masse's equally intelligent, equally amusing art.

Cleverly constructed and insightful.

Truly a visual, as well as a literary, puzzle and such a treat!

A mesmerizing and seamless celebration of language, imagery and perspective.
