Product description
How can mankind stop the dreadful destruction caused by the Iron Man? He cannot be kept down. But when the Space-Bat-Angel-Dragon, a terrible monster from outer space, tries to lay waste to the planet, it is the Iron Man who helps to save the world… Fusing rich elements from myth, science fiction and fantasy with a compelling message about the power of peace, The Iron Man smoulders with vivid imagery, complemented by dramatic black-and-white artwork. Written to be read aloud and to stimulate young imaginations, this fierce and beautiful modern classic from former Poet Laureate Ted Hughes deserves a home in every classroom.
“Reckoned one of the greatest of modern fairy tales.”Observer
“Hughes has never written more compellingly.” Robert Nye, The Times
Also available: Read and Respond activities to accompany The Iron Man.

on 23 December 2010My Teacher read the class it at school and i fell in love with it! I Like how Hogarth and The Iron man work together to stop the Space-bat-angel- dragon but i also like how he is a star and that he liked the sound of war.

on 27 May 2010i love this book but i love it when the space-bat-angel dragon is comeing from a star and then land on Australia but the tale was in the indian ocean and the chin was resting on a part of australia but when he landed the pictures frames in london shaked and more. the iron man dares the space bat angel dragon to a contest so the iron man gets some oil and some fire and has a strenth contest and the iron man gets into the fire 3 times but her is scared if he would melt. well the space bat angel dragons burning thing is the sun so he goes up there, well im not telling but does he give up. find out by reading this book i wont tell you so you read it. its a fantastic book and mystirious book.
