(4) K-3 In singsong verse, Drummond pays tribute to Casey Jones and his final trip, when the courageous conductor sacrificed his life to save the lives of his passengers. Occasionally the cadence derails, but overall the account reverberates with the clickety-clack sound of a train rushing through the night. The accompanying watercolors both extend the action and pace the story through multiple frames that accelerate it.
