If you like thrill-soaked action-packed stories of adventure that end in two and a half minutes, look no more my friend: this is your book.
If you like books where your eight-year-old can easily read to your three-year-old, and then tell the whole world that it happened through your Goodreads account, even better.
Seriously though, who doesn't like Iron Man? A great book for anybody about 3 years old. I'm laughing at the reviews that describe the plot as weak. The whole book has about 30 words!
A super hero story is always a favorite amongst my household. My boys enjoy being read to and reading on their own Marvel Super hero stories. Iron man is a fascinating character in my boys eyes. But one dislike I have is the introduction of the character iron man being rich and the description of his possessions instead more of his good qualities and abilities. Children look up to these imaginary super heroes I don’t agree with reading being focused on being rich and having big boats but hey to everyone their opinion. As an adult we can differentiate but to children’s imagination I just don’t agree with corrupting their minds in economic status. On the flip side this social standing can also be used as an introduction and teaching lesson. I still have it a 5 star rating because my views shouldn’t reflect a book’s purpose. And the vocabulary introduction is also great. And it’s a good read for level 1 readers and the amount of words also is great.
Brought home from the school library, this beginning reader is an introduction to who Iron Man is and some things about him and his lifestyle. Short sentences introduced various characters and how they connect to Iron Man, making a fun read for young fans.
This is a good book to introduce kids to the super hero Ironman. It's an easy read for my 5 year old and caused him to ask a lot of questions like "what is rich" and "how can there be a house on the beach"?
This is part of a set of great little books for young readers. My kids have enjoyed reading them, especially since they are into super heroes. The repeating sentence structures and loads of sight words make for reading material that builds confidence. Plus, the art is pretty cool!

Layout weird, parts of story are missing. Pictures are cut off and sentences missing. Sometimes changing orientation helps with other books but not with this story.
This entry in the World of Reading series is geared towards beginning readers aged Pre-K to Grade 1. With simple text and word repetition, This is Iron Man describes Tony Stark's alter ego, Iron Man, including his friends, his powers, and his super suit. A couple words seem geared towards a slightly older reader - i.e. company and repulsor blasts. While there is very little literary merit or discernible plot, reluctant readers, especially boys, will be drawn in to the artwork and and the super hero theme.
"This is Iron Man Level 1 Reader," by Thomas Macri, is a fairly thin story. The Disney "Star Wars Rebels" and "Star Wars" Level One and Two readers have a bit more plot and action, for instance. However, this is a good introduction to Tony Stark/Iron Man and most importantly my 6 year old was able to read the entire book (with a little help) and remained interested in it the entire time. I've noticed some of the DK leveled readers are higher than the listed level, while this one seemed on target. Great choice for a kid learning to read on their own, who's interested in super heroes.
This is a level 1 reader, meaning the words are on the easier side to read and sentences not long. I appreciated these books in this series because I have a special needs teenage son and he can't read like his 'normal' age and so preschool - beginning reading books are all more 'babyish' but not these books. They are easy to read but didn't drop down to a baby level. So he can feel confedint about reading these. Wished more authors would write like this; since our special needs children need to be able to feel special about being able to read too.
