Singer, M. (2010). Mirror mirror. New York: Penguin Young Readers Group.
Singer takes fairy tells and writes them in poetry form. The same poem is written twice on each page, but one is written backwards, giving the story a completely different meaning. Red Riding Hood, Snow White, and Rapunzel are fairy tales included in this book.
The illustrations in this book are wonderful. The illustration is split on each page, so the reader can see each poem.
This would be wonderful story to use when teaching point of view with older students. When reading fairy tales in kindergarten, I would try to find various versions, so we could discuss the differences. This book is excellent because the differences are in the same book.
