The Iron Man
Publisher: Faber Children's
The Iron Man is a fearsome figure, wreaking terrible destruction wherever he goes. He cannot be stopped - but it takes a child to realise that he is not simply a hostile monster, but could even be a friend. Then, when a monster from outer space threatens to lay waste to the planet and its people, it is the Iron Man who finds a way to save them.
Subtitled 'a children's story in five nights' this powerful, moving and beautifully-written fable from poet Ted Hughes is a true modern classic.

It's heartwarming. My child loved it. And if the truth be known, I loved it to.

I have a feeling that I don't think I will like this book because it is that you have to do Prediction, Question Clarify and Summarise.So Igive it a thumbs down. ππ

I would rate the Iron man 4 stars because the first part was a bit boring but the second part was alot better
