The Iron Giant Book Age Rating. The robot befriends a young boy and wins its humanity by saving the townspeople from their own fears and prejudices. The book was about a 20 minute read, a very short story which didn't deliver the same emotional impact that the story that was in the movie did.
This plan follows a whole class guided reading approach meaning that all children are required to do the same activity on each day. This three week guided reading plan focuses on the iron giant by ted hughes. Rating is for 1997 release pg fantasy action violence, language, some thematic material and smoking.
Fans of brad bird’s movie might be slightly disappointed that the original story is so different, but the basics are still very much in place.
I highly recommend the iron giant to people of all ages. We appreciated the underlying theme of peace, but think the age rating of 6 is inappropriate. A captivating animated feature that's part metal, part magic and all heart. A giant robot from outer space lands on earth and frightens a small town.
