Scrapman and Scrapcat
What's the book about?
A lonely robot in a scrapyard decides to build himself a cat out of old bits and pieces so he will have a friend. At first the strange new cat can’t even make proper cat noises, and it seems more like a problem than a pet. But when things start going missing and sneaky burglars appear, the clanky little cat’s loud alarm turns out to be the perfect way to save the day.

This book is about
Scrapman is lonely at night because his owner sleeps in a different building. He started to play with some bolts and screws.He finds that he had made a cat's head. Scrapman thought that if he made the rest of cat, he wouldn't be lonely anymore, but he finds that a cat isn't just the body it's the noises as well...
The main characters are
Scrapman and Scrapcat.
Scrapman was made from scraps from the scrapyard, by Winson (Scrapman's owner).Scrapcat was made by Scrapman, from bolts, screws, a feather duster
and some wooden stool legs.Scrapman wanted Scrapcat to purr but all he could
find was a burglar alarm noise.
My favourite part of the book is
When Scrapcat's burglar alarm noise made the burglars drop the things they were stealing and run away.
I would also like to say
I felt like crying when the burglars tied Scrapman's body and mouth up, so he couldn't move or speak.

This book is about
Scrapman is lonely and he builds Scrapcat.
Winston (who works in the scrapyard) thinks that Scrapman does not have a good brain, although at the end Winston says, I had no idea you were so clever.
Scrapcat scares away some burglars.
The main characters are
Scrapcat, Scrapman, Winston and Emma.
My favourite part of the book is
When the burglar alarm that is put inside Scrapcat goes brr... brr!
I would also like to say
Scrapman cannot talk properly. Instead of saying Oh dear he says Od ear.
