review 1: Chris Robertson delivers an imaginative and playful tale of a boy named Harry, who is determined to avoid the hot lava that seems to be following him everywhere. The Author’s illustrations are beautifully adapted to the story, and we can see and almost feel the hot lava as Harry struggles to make his way to the safety of his Mom.The character of Harry is inspired by, and dedicated to, his son Benton; the author makes an appearance at the end of the book, joining in the fun and imaginative story. The author validates the importance of parents in helping their children to develop their imagination, and encouraging them by joining in the fun. I highly recommend this book for children and their parents as encouragement to spend time together in a world they create. The most... more enjoyable times I had with my son when he was young were engaging in all his creative games, and just letting go and enjoying his company. These are truly the times my son and I will always remember.
review 2: Watch out! The hot lava's coming!!! Did you bounce from table to couch or pillow to pillow to escape hot lava as a kid? This story brings back those wonderful days of imagination (for us adults, at least). For kids, this is exactly the thing they love to play. Run! The hot lava's here!This is a lovely story for children of all ages, which hits them in a world they understand - play time fantasy. The illustrations are colorful and fun to watch. . .especially when Harry screams 'Hot Lava!' All my nieces and nephews squealed with delight and asked to read it again and again just so they could scream with Harry.In other words. this is a terrific picture book that I can really recommend for all children. It's simply fun to read.I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review. less

I have read and reviewed several of Chris' books and love them all. They are perfect for children to just get lost in their imagination. Although I love all of Chris' books this one totally hit home. I have an autistic son who is 13 and he is just like Harry. He is always living in some imaginary situation and I often find him in closets, under the kitchen table, behind the couch, or standing on his bed. Harry is running and hiding from lava that is following him no matter where he goes in search of the safety of his mother. And of course the story has fantastic illustrations to go with the experience. I totally recommend this for young children.
