Review This delightful poetry book contains verses in reverse, where when read one direction tell one tale, then reversed (with a slight change to punctuation/capitalization) create a new story. Kirrkus Review (2010) states that this is “A collection of masterful fairy-tale–inspired reversos—a poetic form invented by the author, in which each poem is presented forward and backward.” The colorful images also feature this split characteristic showcasing the two tales together. Kelly Fineman (2010) exclaims “From start to finish, from art to text, this book is the total package, and is a work of genius. A must-have for fans of poetry, great art and/or fairy tales.” Themes Poetry Fairytales Reversos Application Librarians wishing to introduce poetry to children can read this book showing that perspective can change simply. Encourage children to write their own reversible poems based on a fairytale or other favorite story. Read-alikes Singer, M. (2013). Follow Follow: A Book of Reversos.
