Some other main characters are Aunt Patty, Uncle Hob, Peter, Tressa, Mrs. Wainwright and Cynthia. Things don’t feel right to young Willa Jo Dean. She wants to open her eyes in the morning and see her very own wallpaper with the tiny blue flowers and pink rosebuds. Her Aunt Patty does not believe in putting up wallpaper not even in the bathrooms, so Willa Jo Dean and her Little Sister have to wake up to plain, washed out, white walls. She wants her Mother to read to them for an hour before bedtime, and to have all of them clump together like alligators in the sun so they can all look at the pictures together just like old times. But all Aunt Patty does is tucks them into bed before it is even dark! getting, near, baby, aunt, patty, willa, sister, jo, little, mother, girls, dean, cynthia, uncle, together, soon, roof, mrs, hob, young, wainwright, just, every, even, door, because, back, after, worry, weeks, wallpaper, through, though, spot, simply, shopping, say, sat
