Product Description
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.

 A teaching tool December 14, 2007
This book is great to use in a writing lesson. Donald Crews does an excellent job in using details to describe the "shortcut". This book goes well with his other one about Big Mamas.
high drama for young children! March 3, 2006
One of the things I love about Shortcut is that it gives young children a chance to be scared/tense (like adults enjoying John Grisham or a suspenseful movie) in a way that isn't like to keep them awake later! I used to teach four-year-olds, and, if read with expression, this book keeps them on the edge of their seats!
Donald Crews' relating of an actual childhood experience is powerful -- they decided to take the shortcut home -- over the train tracks. What happens when they realize a train is coming?
Train lovers book! This one is great! April 14, 2005
I love Donald Crews' books and this one is top notch! My four year old son loves trains. He has listened to this one so many times he has memorized the text. Great pictures and easy text plus the train sounds printed in text throughout the book make this one perfect for children. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars!

I enjoy reading this book because it was interesting how the kids wanted to take the shortcut home, even toght ther knew it was not safe. The story reminded me of how sometimes when im doing homework i wanted to get it done even toght i knoe sometimes its not ryte. I learn from this book that trying your best on everything u do is the right way to do something.
