미국 동부의 뉴저지주 도시지역에서 자란 Donald Crews가 어릴 때 남부의 플로리다 농촌지역에서 여름을 보내면서 겪은 경험을 바탕으로 만든 그림책입니다.
날이 저물자 7명의 아이들은 지름길이 철길을 따라 집으로 돌아가기로 합니다. 곡선으로 된 철길에 왔을 때, 멀리서 기차가 오는 소리가 들렸습니다. 아이들은 놀라서 오던 길로 되돌아 뛰어가고, 간신히 철길 옆으로 피신했을 때 거대한 화물열차가 요란한 소리를 내면서 지나갑니다. 놀란 가슴을 진정시키고 아이들은 위험한 철길 대신, 좀 돌아가더라도 안전한 길을 따라 집으로 돌아갑니다....
각 페이지 왼쪽 구석에서 기차가 다가오는 소리를 암시하는 whoo 글자가 점점 커지면서 스릴과 서스펜스를 느낄 수 있습니다.

Annotation
Children taking a shortcut by walking along a railroad track find excitement and danger when a train approaches.
From the Publisher
The train tracks ran right by Bigmama's house in Cottondale, and the children were warned to stay off the tracks. But one night they were late, and the tracks were a shortcut, so they started off. And when there was no turning back, they heard the train coming. "Perhaps his finest achievement to date....A slice-of-life, tension-filled drama for picture-book readers....The pacing of text and illustrations is perfect." - Horn Book.
Publisher's Weekly
A group of children get the thrill of a lifetime when they decide to cut short their walk home in Crews's new picture book. Though they know the freight train might round the bend momentarily, the kids opt for playing along the tracks instead of walking on their familiar route. Charged with excitement, the escapade turns to fullblown alarm when the train whistle sounds, sending the youngsters scrambling to safety at the last minute. Crews's economical text deftly explores a roller coaster ride of emotion in just a few paragraphs, highlighted with effective onomotopeia-Whoo wh(,o; klackity, klackity, klack. The underlying childlike sensibilities here-taking a risk to the limit, for example-authenticate the author's voice throughout. The story, an extension of the characters first introduced in Crews's nostalgic Bigmama's, is a perfect foil for the artist's masterful renderings of trains. A predominantly warm, earthy palette sets a serene and playful mood at the outset, followed by several dark, wordless spreads that show freight cars rushing past, ready to speed right off the page. Scenes portraying the frightened children are equally effective in this out of the ordinary drama set forth with uncommon artistry.
Children's Literature
Artist/author Donald Crews lovingly portrays the halcyon summers of his youth, when his mom, brother, and sisters visited his Bigmama's (grandmother's) home in Cottondale, Florida. At the end of one summer day, Mr. Crews and his siblings opted to take a shortcut to Bigmama's via the railroad tracks instead of the road. That trip was one they never forgot-or told anyone about, it was so terrifying. Little ones will enjoy the vicarious experience from the safety of your side as, reading aloud, you turn the pages and they hear and watch the train near, klakity-klakity-klakity-klak by, and finally pass with, luckily, no harm done.
School Library Journal
Crews relates an incident from his childhood in this reminiscence of seven young black children in a rural setting who collectively decide to take a shortcut home along some train tracks. As they play, there are small indications that trouble is not far away. The talented author/illustrator effectively uses type size, onomatopoeia, and a darkening scene lit up by the approaching train light to create a sense of building tension and release. As the train rumbles by, there are five double-page spreads given over to closeups of the cars rolling along. Slightly out of focus, they give the sense of motion. Visually and aurally, readers will vividly feel the sensation of a freight train moving by and be relieved at its passing. Crews's almost-cartoon drawings of the children seem awkward and out of place against his smooth renderings of the train and scenery. But in this instance, this technique works to the story's advantage, for the children are out of place, in the wrong place at the wrong time.
BookList
Late getting started back to Bigmama's house, seven kids of assorted ages make the sort of decision that might make sense to a group of children at dusk: "We should have taken the road. But it was late, and it was getting dark, so we started down the track." On the very next page, as the kids follow the railroad tracks, the word "whoo" appears in small, shadowed letters, signaling a distant train's approach. This warning note gets larger and louder with each turn of the page, until the children leap aside and a freight train thunders across five double-page spreads. In the denouement, the children walk home to Bigmama's silently, in the dark. Watercolor and gouache paintings in dusky hues stretch across the wide, horizontal pages. Beautifully crafted from cover to cover, this picture book combines simplicity of sounds and forms with subtlety of expression. As in "Bigmama's" , Crews touches a chord that sets up an emotional resonance, conveying more than the events, more than the sights, more than the words.
