my mom told me about a book she read years ago about kids who make friends with their reflections in the mirror this would have been in the 1960s or 1970s she read it. sorry I don`t have anymore information.

Seems like Anne of Green Gable, only that there is only one character (Anne) who imagines her reflection is her friend.
definitely not Anne of green gables. from what I gather this book is fantasy but thanks

When Sebastian, a boy in Victorian England, sees an unhappy young girl in an antique mirror, he feels compelled to purchase it and free her from captivity. Melissa was kidnapped long ago by a wicked Enchanter who swore to deprive her adoptive father of whatever he loved most. Unless Sebastian can free her, she is doomed to spend eternity alone, trapped in the Enchanter's Treasure House, a place where time is meaningless.
To liberate Melissa, Sebastian must collect the Enchanter's five Power Objects---the mirror, a teapot, a silver fish, an emerald, and a green rose---and throw them into a magic well.
not sure since my mom does not remember and i never read it.
hm.. if you'll never be able to tell us whether or not our guesses are right, maybe we should move this to 'requests for books in general' or 'possibly solved' - what do you think?
Ask your mom if the cover was a mustard/brown color with a charcoal/pencil drawing of a boy and girl standing side by side, looking at their reflections in a free-standing mirror but the reflections are dressed in different clothing.

There's a chapter (or two) in Mr. Pudgins
where the children make friends with their reflection. The reflections come out of the mirror and play tag (I think). But, the reflections are able to float, making it hard for the kids to catch them.
