At the end when the star spirit came down to Earth and the iron man challanged him to the fire bed contest was cool.

Thrilling story with a big twist
Sergeant Binky Stegosaurus 23.05.2024
It makes me feel emotional because everybody hated him except from Hogwarts. He was the only person who was kind to him. The iron man also got killed to save planet earth fro the space-bat-angel.

I like this book because it is all about the building and creating and this book is all about building and creating a huge iron man

It was fiction and Adventures.The setting was in the countryside(Australia 🇦🇺). I would recommend this book because it says about how did the Iron Man helped the world 🌍. When there was Space-bat-angle dragon 🐉, the iron man had helped the humans.

I have read this story before at school but this book caught my attention in the library because it was illustrated by someone different than the school one. I enjoyed reading this again and especially liked the illustrations.

i would greatly recommend
Constable Geronimo Archer 28.08.2022
There are 5 chapters and each one is amazing, like 5 separate stories in one book, so one for each night. My mum loved the pictures in this one. I like the part where the Iron Man gets buried in the ground. We bought this book at the Museum, so we'll be able to read it again.
Corporal Ice-T Cuckoo-Clock 23.08.2022
The little boy because he was helping the iron man and was very kind. I have leant about it in school and I gave it a 3/10. I would recommend it to my family and friends.

Captain Honeycomb Bluebird 20.10.2021
Mummy and I have been reading this together and it’s my favourite story. First people are so scared of iron man but he really helps them after by saving the earth from the dragon creature.
