The Wild Robot

This shows how a robot communicated with animals. I highly recommend!

Loved it but it was a bit too emotional for me! Made me cry at times!

It's a great book about how a robot survives in the wild and makes friends and family (literally)

i love tech and animals (i don't no which way round) so this is my book either if you're an animal lover or an tech person or both (like me) then i recon you would defiantly enjoy reading one of these books! :)

It was funny and educational. It makes you want to read the next book. I would recommend it to most people.

This book was one of the best books I read. It's about a robot called Roz who gets stranded on an island. If you want to learn what happens, I recommend you read the book. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in animals.

A shipment of robots is caught up in a storm. Most of the cargo sinks, but 5 boxes manage to make it to the shore of an uninhabited island. The fate of the first 4 robots is grim, but the fifth robot survives and comes alive when some curious otters find it and push the "on" button.
So begins the life of Roz the robot, who learns how to survive on this wild island with all the animal inhabitants. When she forms a special bond with the gosling, Brightbill, her life becomes more fulfilling than ever, as she learns to care for him and to make new friends.
This story has been made into a Disney movie.

Short chapters, great for a regular class read. Each chapter leaves you wanting to move onto the next. With links to migration, kindness and compassion for others. Washed up on a foreign shore and initially feared and avoided by the local animal population Roz the Robot soon demonstrated their worth. The robot became revered for their contribution to society and when the chips were down was supported by those who had previously avoided it. The ending leaves room for a sequel which has been published and I now must read.
I have given 4 stars because although it is a super story and has been published for the UK market it is written in American English and is riddled with spelling errors. E.g. center / centre, Many z's where a s should be etc. The spelling errors stuck out like a sore thumb and if read with a class on a visualiser then I would wish to point out these glaring errors to the children. Lazy publishing?

Borrowed from a friend and loved it

A lovely book that explores friendship and the struggles the main character faced to fit in. The story was full of heartwarming moments as well as tragedy and excitement . I especially loved the way that the author addresses the reader. Great for lower key stage 2.

it made me feel like i was in the action

This story is about a defective robot named Roz who was deserted on an island. She became friends with the animals on the island. But three other robots came to take him back the factory where he would be refurbished and sold. The animals helped her to defeat the robots but Roz decided to go with them in the end because he wanted to protect the island.

I like this book because it has lots of ups and downs and because Roz had to go through lots of challenges.

A rather interesting and fascinating story about a wild robot

Love the simplicity of this book. Great themes and questions but simple sentences. Great chapter book for early readers who want the success of reading a bigger text… Also, love how Roz is always watching, assessing and learning.

A very good story, though a little sad at times. I really want to read the next story now.

I really liked the relationship between Roz and the wild animals.

I liked how the author made some stuff that got included later in the story like how the animals used to think the robot rozzum 7134 [long for roz]was a really scary monster.At the of the story they didnt waunt her to leave.

I loved it.

I loved it

I was fascinated by how well she learnt

I liked it because it combined high-tech robots with nature and it gave the idea that all animals share an universal language and are as intelligent as humans.In the book, I like the motto that whoever you are, whatever you are, you can always fit in.

A wonderfully written book, with a unique storyline. I really enjoyed watching the main character develop.

Another recommendation from a young man who finally found 'that book' which transformed his relationship with reading. I promised him I would read it over the holidays and I will be utterly delighted to tell him how much I liked it when I see him in September!

Very fun for lks2. Clear language and easy to follow plot. Inspired by the Iron Man, another lovable robot who is a hero. Great read for storytime.

Clever eco messages as well as strong messages about friendship and being “human”

Super! Really great descriptions, fast and engaging plot. Read it myself and now am reading aloud to my Year 3 class who are loving it. Eco messages, the power of communication and friendship and helping each other whilst working togther.

This book had a very sad ending but happy ending. The robot got taken to his makers to be repaired. When he first came on the island, he didn't know how to survive but with the help of his son Brightbill and the animals on the island, the robot manages to learn 4 things: how to survive in the wild, how to be a mother, learning to speak animal, and being a good friend.

This book is something I was introduced to at school and finished it at home. It shows an alternative universe and makes you question AI.

It interested me because it was like a mystery and adventure and my favourite part was how she found a baby duck and asked the other ducks to see if it were their baby duck but it was unwanted so she took care of the baby duck.
