Poetry

By Marilyn Singer

From the author who brought us the book, The Dog Who Insisted He Wasn't  comes a truly unique form a poetry in Mirror Mirror. Award-winning author, Marilyn Singer has taken many of our favorite fairy tales and turned them on their heads. With her Reverso style of Poetry, she cleverly gives us two points of view using the same poem. By reading the poem from top to bottom you get the perspective of one character, for instance Snow White, by reading the same poem from bottom to top and you will see the story from the Wicked Queen's perspective.
