What I Thought: I really love the reverso poetry form that Marilyn Singer created. One day, I'll be brave enough to try it for myself. Her second collection of reverso poems was as wonderful as her first. My favorite poems are Fairy Tales; Ready, Steady, Go!; and No Bigger Than Your Thumb. The illustrations are gorgeous--such bright colors. My favorites are Fairy Tales, No Bigger Than Your Thumb, and Now It's Time to Say Good Night.
