Description
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. He resurfaces again, upturning picnickers.
So Hogarth comes up with a plan—it turns out that the scrap yard, with its metal bedsteads, broken-down cars, and old cookers, is the perfect home.
