It's Christmastime, and Tallulah finally gets what she's been wishing for--a part in a "real "ballet, a professional production of "The Nutcracker." She's only a mouse, but she works as hard as if she had been cast as the Sugar Plum Fairy.

On the night of the show, everything is perfect. But then disaster strikes Does Tallulah have what it takes to become a real ballerina?

A well-told story, gorgeous illustrations, and a beloved character conspire to make a positively magical Christmas book.

With 6 starred reviews, 8 best of the year lists, and over 20 state award nominations, everyone is raving about "Mirror Mirror"
"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.

Tallulah is back in ballet class and now she wants to go "en pointe"--to dance up on the tips of her toes in pink satin toe shoes, like a real ballerina. But going "en pointe" is not good for growing feet, and her ballet teacher says her feet aren't ready yet. "Oh, yes, they are, " Tallulah thinks. "And so am I." Not only is she ready, she's determined. And nothing stops Tallulah when her mind is made up

Tallulah just knew she could be a great ballerina, if only she had a tutu. So she starts ballet class. When she does not receive a tutu, she quits. But everywhere she goes, things keep reminding her of ballet. Her neighbor's basset hound always stands in second position. The kitchen clock performs perfect "ronds de jambe." And Tallulah can't seem to stop doing ballet, either. A park bench makes a perfect "barre, "and what better way to pet the dog than with a graceful "plie"? This well-told, funny story with a smart new character will satisfy girls' cravings for pretty and pink, but also shows that ballet is about more than just the tutu.

On the same day in March...
Polar bears ride on Artic ice.
People in French cafes turn up
their faces to the sun.
Hailstones roll over Indian hillsides.
Rain makes a river in Kenya.

On the same day that it's icy cold in the Artic, it's foggy in Louisiana, sunny in Barbados, and blowing wild winds called willy-willies in Austrailia. In this poetic exploration of longitude and weather, with bright and detailed paintings of seventeen different places, Marilyn Singer and Frane Lessac show us what's happening from the poles to the equator-- all on the same day in March.

A paean to play from an award-winning poet and a "New York Times "best-selling illustrator. The trappings of childhood change from generation to generation, but there are some timeless activities that every kid loves. Marilyn Singer and LeUyen Pham celebrate these universal types of play, from organized games such as hide-and-seek and hopscotch to imaginative play such as making mud soup or turning a stick into a magic wand. Lyrical poems and bold illustrations capture the energy of a group of children in one neighborhood as they amuse themselves over the course of a summer day. At a time when childhood obesity rates are soaring and money is tight for many families, here is a book that invites readers to join in the fun of active play with games that cost nothing.

Lawrence H. Singer is an award winning marketing executive, speaker, lecturer, trainer and author. Marilyn Singer is a nationally recognized career broadcast professional and real estate investor since 1971. Together, they have authored three best-selling books. The Singers conduct national training seminars on real estate investment and rehabbing, and personal and professional development and motivation, through their seminar series, "Get Out of Your Way."

Marilyn Singer has created yet another collection of her ingenious reverso poems, this time holding up the mirror to classical Greek myths. Each tale is told in a single poem that, when read in reverse, reveals another meaning. As with Mirror Mirror and Follow Follow readers will delight in uncovering the dual points of view in well-known legends such as Pandora's Box and Echo and Narcissus, among others. Thoughtful explanatory notes about the original myths accompany each poem, and acclaimed artist Josee Masse's clever paintings-these in sun-drenched Mediterranean hues-contribute beauty plus visual meaning.
