Despite his insatiable hunger, the Iron Giant is quite gentle and good-natured, though the townspeople are too frightened of him to realize it.

Earth needs a hero and only the Iron Giant is big enough and brave enough to do battle with the hideous creature from outer space juvenile written by Ted Hughes ; illustrated by Laura Carlin.
