Bluebonnet Book.
WOW!! This book is super fun! I found myself amazed and wondering, "How did she do that?" Marilyn Singer created reverso poems about fairy tales. One character's perspective is told when a reverso is read going down, but when you read it going up it changes the point of view. For example, the Sleeping Beauty reverso had the princess speaking first. When it is reversed, it is the prince that is talking. The author has written both verses on one page.The illustrations in this book are also a lot of fun. The illustrator used bright and brilliant colors. The illustrator was also able to make two illustrations into one. This way both verses were illustrated.
This book really is quite impressive to see and read. I tried to do my own reverso poem and, to put it mildly, was extremely unsuccessful. I may not be doing the best job with describing the book, I just hope that you will go out and read it for yourself. You too will marvel at the writing.
