Mirror Mirror is a collection of reversible poems, all based on popular fairy tales. The text is printed in lines such that when they are reversed and read from bottom to top, they tell a very different story. The text of the two different versions of the poem are printed in different colors. Each poem is accompanied by an illustration that is literally split down the middle, just as the two corresponding poems are. The illustrations are bright and colorful, and they provide the reader with additional details and understanding. This book would be a great way to talk about language and the importance of word order. By using the same words and simply changing the order in which they're presented, an entirely different story is presented.
