This book uses only pictures to demonstrate how a mirror/reflection works. Each page is a mirror image of a young girl dancing, standing, etc.

Summary: Mirror is a wordless book about a little girl playing with her reflection in the mirror. It does involve an aspect of fantasy, as the reflection does not follow the girl. The girl gets angry and destroys the mirror.

Personal Connection: The beginning illustration, and the last illustration, made me feel very sorry for the girl as she looked very upset! However, I love the idea of the girl enjoying playing with her reflection, and how Lee used the two sides of the book to show reality and fantasy (with the divide coming from the nature divide in the book).

Extras:
***Mentioned in class- Lee is known for utilizing all of the features of the book to create a story- has illustrated books to be read horizontally, vertically, etc.

Application to Teaching: Use for teaching illustrations and character expressions (book is black and white but so much is seen and understood from the character's expressions)! ( )

So beautiful art. Eventhough this book doesn't have a sigle word its images speak for themselves. It's a highly emotional book, one that anyone can enjoy. I'm looking foward to "read" more of this author. ( )

This book is dark and ends quite sadly - warning. That said, I think it is a very well illustrated and interesting book. It is cool and well done. Perhaps not for the "faint-of-heart" or very young children. Certainly read before you read with children and know your audience. ( )
