Platform - Kids' Poems and Stories With Michael Rosen

The narrator waits for their mom at Penn Station, observing the changing signals, lights, and people around. They reflect on the advertisements and the environment, particularly a children's shoe ad. As the Flying Scotsman express train passes, the station goes dark. Finally, the narrator's mom arrives, and they head home together, discussing the ad and holding hands.

What does the narrator notice about the advertisement regarding children's shoes?

How does the narrator feel about waiting for their mom compared to being at home alone?
