I like this book it told me lots that I already knew but I didn’t learn much more. It’s a good book though and if you don’t know much then you should read it.

I thought it was good. It told me lots of facts about the great fire of London. More than 13,000 houses were destroyed in the fire. It started in a bakery in Pudding Lane.

The great fire of London started to get me excited to read the rest of the book all at once. I think Tomas Farriner forgot to put the fire out for the next day. Because the houses were made out of wood, they burnt easily and people lost their homes. So they had to live in tents. After the fire of London, people learnt they have to put out their fire properly, they have to build brick houses, streets have to be wide. The monument was built to let the people know of the Great Fire of London.

Great book with amazing illustrations. It showed me how big the inferno was in London. And it made me sad because I saw how many people died in the fire.
