From the publisher

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
