The Brilliant World of Tom Gates

Book Week

It's World Book Day and Tom doesn't have a costume to wear to school! Mum needs to create one fast! Tom dreams of being an iron man, but there's isn't quite enough tin foil to pull that off! What about a swamp monster instead? Mum puts him in a onesie covered in cat pictures. What is she thinking?! But Mum has a plan. She makes scales out of paper, sticking them all over the onesie. Awesome! In Make It, Tom shows us how to make our own mini book, ready to be filled with doodles. Tom tells us some furry facts and draws - a furry Marcus Meldrew! In class, Tom hides his furry Marcus doodle from the real Marcus, but as he slaps his book shut, all the paper scales fall off his costume, revealing the cat covered onesie. Liz shows us how to create a flip book, which brings your doodles to life - just like a cartoon! Tom is sitting in class with a cat onesie, not the look he was going for. If only he had a glue stick to put the scales back on - suddenly a Bug appears with glue stick in hand!
