This book for beginning readers tells of different Transformer characters and their conflicts with enemies who want to destroy the Earth.
The narrative is short, the font is large, and the vocabulary is somewhat challenging, which will encourage beginning readers to learn new words.
The illustrations are sure to appeal to children who are fans of the cartoons and movies.
I obtained a copy of this book to add to our elementary school library's collection.

The children, especially the boys in my class really enjoy this series of books. They sit quietly and hang off of every word; it’s quite amusing to watch. When they are given the books to use by themselves you can see them turning the pages with care and trying to sound out the words. It just shows you, just like us adults, children will take an interest in Literature when it’s about something that interests them.
This story is about Optimus Prime and the Auto bots and how they are going to work together and never give up in their quest to fight and stop Megatron and his Decepticons.
There is approx one – two sentences per page and the type is larger and easy for the children to read.

I mistook this 2010 Carnival book for a Ladybird book, being as it is identical in size and format. The paper is glossy and the illustrations are pretty good, but the text amounts almost to nothing. I realise this is for very young readers, but I think a book should last more than 30s, whatever it is. (This makes the 1986 Ladybird equivalents feel like Dostoevsky). 2.25/5

My nephew loved I Am Optimus Prime. He was beside himself with delight over this book. That's great, and it makes me happy that he enjoyed this book so much, but his sister and I thought the story was awful!
The story was disjointed, the author introduced a character, The Fallen, got us all revved up for a battle between The Fallen and Optimus Prime, and then she dropped that story and began telling us all about the battles between other Autobots and Decepticons. The author then cut back to Optimus and The Fallen just in time for us to see Optimus defeat this foe, but we've not been privy to any show down between The Fallen and Optimus at all!
My niece exclaimed, "That was a rip off! There was nothing in this story about The Fallen! I mean, what happened?!" Even my nephew was confused by the disjointedness of the story. He loved it because it's Transformers, but the unevenness did jar him, and he was trying to figure out what role The Fallen was playing in this book. The best thing about this story is that it gave my niece and me an opportunity to discuss the importance of story development and continuity when writing. Too bad it was an example of what *not* to do.
UPDATE:
Ok, time has passed since we first read this book, and nothing that I said above is inaccurate (in my opinion). But I have to totally change my rating of this book. Since my nephew received this book 17 days ago, he has barely had this out of his hands. Really, you should see this thing now. It looks like he's had it for a year. It's so well worn, corners are bent, it's sticky, the cover is beginning to separate, and my nephew takes this book to school every day where he and the little boys in his class pour over this thing. Yes, the story is poorly developed, and no, it's not fine art. But my nephew loves this book, and it makes him interested in reading. *And* he shares this book with other little boys, who will maybe become interested in reading as a result. And in the end, all of that more than makes up for a thin plot.
