About this ebook
This gorgeous abridged edition brings The Iron Man to a picture book audience for the very first time!
The Iron Man isn't scary - he's just very, very hungry . . .
It's not until he starts chomping on fence posts and tractors that he comes to the attention of the angry farmers - who trap him in a hole with the help of a little boy called Hogarth.
Then Hogarth comes up with a new plan - it turns out that the scrap yard, with its metal bedsteads, broken down cars and old cookers is the perfect home for a hungry Iron Man.
'Beautiful, inviting, and full of warmth.' Katherine Woodfine
