Race Ahead With Reading: Bronze Age Adventures: Metal Man
Shoo Rayner
This brilliant new mini series introduces us to family life in the bronze age through action and adventure, written and illustrated by the multi-talented Shoo Rayner. You can top up your Bronze Age facts at the back of the book too!
In this story, Dug is bored, but then he watches Mini creating rock babies and gets an idea – why not create his very own metal man! The first ingredient is wax from honeycomb – and that means collecting some from a nest of angry bees…!
Race Ahead with Reading is the perfect introduction to reading chapters with brand new page turning reads in five short bite size chapters, to encourage children to take the driving seat with their reading. Each book is book banded at level 9 or 10, perfect for 6-8 year old independent readers.
Reviews
The book is about a boy called Dug who wanted to make a metal man. My favourite character is their dad because he looked like a Viking. My favourite part was the ending because Dug finally finished making the metal man.

I liked the fact that I have learned about the stone age and the iron age at school. So this book made sense to me. I would recommend it to other children in Year 3.

I think that Dug is really creative because he thought of making a metal man. I like WOOF the best since he is very protective of Dug and Mini and came to their rescue when they needed help. I would definitely recommend it to my friends Aisling and Stella as I know they would love Dug and Woof and of course the Metal Man!

I thought the book was interesting because it taught me how to make moulds. My best character is Dug. I would recommend this book to someone else because at the end there was facts about the Bronze Age.

I rate it five out of five because it is about the olden times where they make gold metal I recommend the people who are linked to history and like history are the people who are the one who are going this fascinating book about bronze age.

;The book is very interesting because it explains how to make shapes like metal man from metal. The book tells how to make shapes from beeswax. I liked Dug because he was very innovative and made a wax man and then a metal man. The book tells fact about beeswax and bronze. I would recommend the book to others because it is very interesting.
