The Coming of the Iron Man

This gorgeous abridged edition brings The Iron Man to a picture book audience for the very first time! A landmark publication. 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. He resurfaces again, upturning picnickers. So Hogarth comes up with a plan - it turns out that the scrap yard, with its metal bedsteads, broken down cars and old cookers is the perfect home.
