My mother punished me. This book reminds me of the Lonely Doll where the girl and her doll mess up the house playing with each other. Graffiti art is like sidewalk chalking We write on the sidewalk and driveways in our neighborhood. We also do hopscotch. This poem reminds me of the book Sidewalk Story. Only the poem is happy and shows the times of living in a city. The book tells an unhappy side of living in the city. © Copyright NewPath Learning.
