The train ran right by Bigmama's house in Cottondale, the town made famous in Crews's book Bigmama's. The children were warned to stay off the tracks. But this time they were in a hurry, and the tracks were a shortcut. So they started off, and when there was no turning back, they heard the train coming. Drama, suspense--and a happy ending. Full-color illustrations.
