Mirror Mirror

Singer, M. (2010). Mirror Mirror. New York, N.Y.: Dutton Children's Books.

Mirror Mirror is a collection of stories and fairy tales that readers are familiar with.  Each story is written in reverse, giving new meaning to each.  The illustrator of the book used brightly colored illustrations that keep readers entertained.  He used lines to divide the two different versions of each story.  The composition of the book works well together through each story. He adds an element of darkness to represent the twist between the two versions of the story.

As an extension activity, allow students to select a story of their choice from the book Mirror Mirror.  Have students to write a short paragraph explaining the difference between the story they know, and the story written in reverse.  Allow them to share their thoughts  with their classmates.
