Completely wonderful submitted by LibraryMaven on July 25, 2014, 11:19am Follow Follow is an absolute winner of youth poetry. Author Marilyn Singer draws inspiration from fairy tales to write reverso poems, poems that tell one story when read one way, and another story completely when the poem is reversed. Illustrations enhance the 'flipped' nature the poems. These approachable poems are great for those who already love poetry, but also for those that are a little wary of poetry. Kids especially will have fun puzzling out which fairy tale each poem refers to. If you are completely stuck, a page at the end of the book tells you which poem draws from which fairy tale.
