Just was curious who needed to use a mirror, because I was warned by a few people that I had to have one to read the book, but didn't end up using it once.
Edit->Shoot- i made a typo in one of the answers (repeated to pretend) - is there a way to modify it?

I didn't use one. I conduct kids' story times in our public library; I'm sometimes holding the book in front of me so they can see the pictures while I read it upside down. Backwards in TPP wasn't much different.

I did pretty well without a mirror at first, but I got lost with some of the longer words, and eventually gave up and went over to my mirror.

I could have done it easily - I have much experience from puzzle books where the answers are written in mirror-writing so that you can't see them easily - but there was a mirror just across the room from me, and I thought that I might as well play along.

I could read it fine... but peoples brains work differently. I knew a person who frequently read boks upside down, just for fun.
I also know someone who can write right to left instead of left to write, just as easily as the normal way.
If only I knew why...

I read it okay.
One of the book promos was a pocket mirror. Now it makes sense why they gave those away.

MY first read I did it without a mirror as I was in a supermarket being dragged around by my aunt. When I reread it I decided to use a mirror though to make sure I hadn't missed anything.

I didn't need a mirror. I can read upside-down or back to front. My parents say it's because I'm a lefty  . |

I didn't need a mirror. When I read the mirror-reading I was waiting at a bus stop and had to access to a mirror, anyway, so I'm glad I can read backwards. (I can read upside too. And write upside down and backwards.)

Same. When I was reading at school, I didn't. But at home, I used a mirror just for fun!  |

I used a mirror, but I can read it without the aid of one.

No mirror needed, although I did read it a few times to be sure I had it right.

I can read mirror and I can write mirror. So no, i didn't use a mirror. It was a lil' tricky to read it mirror-ized to my lil' brother, tho.

Yes I agree it was tricky but oh well I think most of us just read it as is.
