A collection of reverso poems about well known fairy tales including Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, etc...Each poem shows the two sides to every story. If you read the poem down one way you may read Snow White's point of view but if you read it up the other way you will see why the Evil Queen didn't think her self so evil.
The painterly technique of illustrator Josee Masse beautifully follows the reverso theme of symmetry and balance to show both points of view. This collections of poetry would be a wonderful resource to any unit on poetry. As reverso poems only allow changes in punctuation and capitalization using examples from stories that students are already familiar with would greatly enhance their ability to understand this rarely used type of poem.
