Mirror, Mirror: A Book of Reverso Poems

Singer, M. (2010). Mirror Mirror: A Book of Reverso Poems. New York, NY: Dutton Children's Books. 

It’s the first time that I come across a book like this. It has its traditionally reading structure, but then the lines are reverse from the bottom up. It gives the poem another meaning. This book has a total of 14 poems and will keep the reader engage and intrigue. It is a different approach to reading poems. From the little red riding hood, Cinderella, and Snow White. It is very creative to read poem from up down to down up, the author was very thoughtful. The illustrations are also very colorful and eye catching.


The use of the poetry elements are well established. The author was very ingenious on the arrangement of the text. The readers do not have difficulty reading or comprehending the text.
