"Remarkable." The Washington Post
"This mind-bending poetry is accompanied by Masse's equally intelligent, equally amusing art." Time Out New York for Kids

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.
