Let's Read-It-Forward!

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who will read it forward at Purefoy this fall?

Once again, we're reading-it-forward in the library - a program where special books are spread throughout the school for us all to read and share together. Look for the fall selection, Mirror Mirror, to join in the fun!

It's easy to participate...
Find a Read-It-Forward book (they have a special label on the cover and inside) and read it. Feel free to take it home for a night or two if needed. Then, write a comment and sign your name on the inside cover and pass it on to a friend so they can Read-It-Forward too. When you get a chance stop by the library to sign the banner and try a fun book activity - we're hoping to create Mirror Mirror-inspired poetry display in the library soon.


A Book of Reversible Verse
poems by Marilyn Singer, illustrated by Jossee Masse
What's brewing when two favorites-poetry and fairy tales-are turned (literally) on their heads? It's a revolutionary recipe: an infectious new genre of poetry and a lovably modern take on classic stories. First, read the poems forward (how old-fashioned!), then reverse the lines and read again to give familiar tales, from Sleeping Beauty to that Charming Prince, a delicious new spin. Witty, irreverent, and warm, this gorgeously illustrated and utterly unique offering holds a mirror up to language and fairy tales, and renews the fun and magic of both.
