Childhood favourite
This was my favourite book as a kid, and the book I learned to read from. My mother read it to me over & over until I knew it off by heart. Now, I'm buying it for my son.
A childhood classic revived.
Bought the
Iron
Giant video, paperback, and this original version so my college age son could enjoy them again and keep them for his future family.
a little short, but really good
This was a very satisfying read, with the
Iron
Man
and all, but it was a little bit short. This is supposed to be a children's book, but actually, the end expresses Ted Hughes' views on world peace. Very good for a children's story. I think that the part where they trap the IM is a little sad; after all, he does try to escape, and again, the adults laugh with glee, leaving the kid Hogarth to feel guilty.

Not Free SF Reader
A kid's story, with a large robot monster and an alien invader. What is not to like? Doesn't insult the intelligence of the child, either. The
Iron
Giant turns from super villain, when laying waste to places, to super hero, when he saves the area from a giant fire breathing space monster, and perhaps gains a friend.
