Fans of Greek Mythology will enjoy this clever mash up of Greek myths and poetry. Each myth is told from two different point of views. When the poem is read from top to bottom it shares one perspective. When the same poem is read in reverse, the same words take on a different meaning and provide the other side of the story. The bottom of each page gives more detail for background on each myth. The accompanying illustration are beautiful and work to give both sides of the story thru pictures. I think this would be a lot of fun to read with students. This is a great book for intermediate readers. These poems are about greek myths and they are the same words and same sentence structure just reversed for each poem. Each poem comes with another that is exactly the same just reversed. This is a great book to help children understand that there are multiple meanings to a word and how even in Greek myths the theme can be changed by simply flipping the poem. This can help students creative writing and help them understand multiple meanings to a word at a young age. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"What happens when you hold up a mirror to poems about Greek myths? You get a brand-new perspective on the classics! And that is just what happens in Echo Echo, the newest collection of reverso poems from Marilyn Singer. Read one way, each poem tells the story of a familiar myth; but when read in reverse, the poems reveal a new point of view! Readers will delight in uncovering the dual points of view in well-known legends, including the stories of Pandora's box, King Midas and his golden touch, Perseus and Medusa, Pygmalion, Icarus and Daedalus, Demeter and Persephone, and Echo and Narcissus. These cunning verses combine with beautiful illustrations to create a collection of fourteen reverso poems to treasure."-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The illustrations are gorgeous - like the words they are reverse of each other (in the Hades/Persephone you see the sadness and happiness of their viewpoints for instance) and the myths chosen good fit. Not just very well known myths like Pandora, Persephone and Orpheus, but also Melanion & Atalanta, and Bellerophon & Pegasus.
To have this sort of imagination and agility of mind makes me jealous. This is a level of reading and writing comprehension that I wish we saw more often in fun ways like this. It makes a higher concept poetry idea interesting to a younger generation who wouldn't always been exposed to it. ( )
