Marilyn Singer has created yet another collection of her ingenious reverso poems, this time holding up the mirror to classical Greek myths. Each tale is told in a single poem that, when read in reverse, reveals another meaning. As with Mirror Mirror and Follow Follow readers will delight in uncovering the dual points of view in well-known legends such as Pandora's Box and Echo and Narcissus, among others. Thoughtful explanatory notes about the original myths accompany each poem, and acclaimed artist Josee Masse's clever paintings-these in sun-drenched Mediterranean hues-contribute beauty plus visual meaning.
Lovers of Greek Mythology will enjoy sharing these poems and vivid illustrations with young readers
