 Love this reality story-except for the simile December 21, 2007
Rosalie T. Hobbs (swampscott, ma United States)
I read this book in elementary school. It really happened: the story of the volcano Paricutin. A con of the story is the simile, "the volcano smoking like an old man smoking his pipe" and smoking is bad for us. A better simile would have been, "like a dragon breathing fire" or something.

I thought this book was really good. If you read my report l think you should read the book. It is about a man and his boy. His father is a farmer and one day the boy comes out and helps his father. Then they hit the top of a volcano. Which is in the ground and it destroys everything. Then they rebuild everything.

Hill of Fire tells the true story of a Mexican farmer who encounters the beginnings of a volcano in his corn field. The vocabulary is very easy, and yet the author captures the mood of the sleepy village that was changed forever by El Monstruo. I recommend this book to teachers of grades 2 and 3 and to children who are just moving away from picture books.

I think you should read. Hill of Fire. It is very good. I like the middle part. My favorite part is when the volcano erupts. I think you should read this book.
True Story! January 4, 2000

I use this book with my ESL students 2nd-8th grade. What really makes it interesting is that it is a true story! I've been there, seen the church (what's left of it) and met the people. The only thing not true is there is no hot dog stand. Excellent book and easy to read.
