Mirror Mirror - Marilyn Singer and Josee Masse

There are two sides to every story. MIRROR MIRROR (Dutton, $16.99) cleverly tells both. Read each familiar fairy tale from top to bottom, then read it in reverse to discover an entirely different story. Did you ever wonder how the giant felt about Jack and his escapades? What about the evil queen’s attitude toward Snow White? By changing punctuation and capitalization, author Marilyn Singer casts these old favorites in a new light. Josee Masse’s illustrations are a visual mirror. Ages 6-10. HWP
