Simple and Good
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
"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 K-3 and to children who are just moving away from picture books.

True Story!

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.
I liked this book a lot.

This is a story about a volcano that grows in a field of corn. The characters are Pablo and his dad. This story is from Mexico and is in a little village. The story starts like this. It's a normal day Pablo was in school. His father was working at field of corn. Pablo went to help his dad when they are holes to plant corn when a hole makes lot of smoke and they run to their house. And the police came to rescue village people to a safe place. And when tourist came to see the volcano and Pablo told all the story of the Hill Of Fire.I like this book because is a interesting book and fun book an emotional book.
