Follow Follow

A Book of Reverso Poems




Endlessly amazing, this brilliant picture book collection plays with language and fairy tales to create a celebration of sight, sound, and story.

"Genius!"–Wired.com

“Marilyn Singer's verse in Follow Follow practically dances down each page . . . the effect is miraculous and pithy.”–The Wall Street Journal

In this stunning follow-up to Mirror Mirror, more classic fairy tales are given clever new twists. Read these clever poems from top to bottom and they mean one thing. Then reverse the lines and read from bottom to top and they mean something else–it is almost like magic!

Matching the ingenuity of the text, gorgeous full-page illustrations show new dimensions and changed perspectives
