— Singer, M. (2010). Mirror Mirror: A Book of Reversible Verse. New NY: Dutton.
This is a poetry book about classic fairy tales that we all love. It is called reverso poetry. It shows both characters sides to the story. The poems and illustrations mirror each other. One poem is written going down and the other poem is reversed up. The illustrator used lines, colors, and shapes to show how the story mirrors itself. Its great detail of the composition unifies the book so that readers can enjoy the clever writing of the author. This book can be used to teach point of view. Students may write their own poem, then reverse it to see the other characters point of view.
