5 30 y separately published work icon Mirror Jeannie Baker , Jeannie Baker (illustrator), Newtown : Walker Books Australia , 2010 Z1712575 2010 single work picture book children's (taught in 1 units) 'This innovative picture book comprises two stories designed to be read simultaneously – one from the left, the other from the right. Page by page, we experience a day in the lives of two boys and their families. An Australian family, whose way of life strikes a familiar chord, and a family from a far away country with a way of life that differs more than one can imagine. As we read we discover the simple truth that despite these differences we are all the same. We are the mirror of each other.' (From the publisher's website.)

'Giving gifts is so much fun!

'A pair of glasses for the dog…

'A pacifier for the cat…

'Oops, that can't be right!

'Ivy is determined to find a gift that's just right for everyone in her family.

'But will there be a present left for Ivy when all the gifts are given?'
