To answer your questions, World Book Day is an international celebration of books! In North America and many other places it is celebrated on April 23rd annually, but in the UK it is the 1st Thursday in March. I love Book Character dress up… and yes, the Rainbow Fish one is beautiful, isn’t it? My style is more the “One Fish Two Fish” costume though LOL – I’m no sewer, unfortunately.
Impress your students and give your colleagues a giggle with some of these ideas. Don’t forget to also check out our bumper round-up of World Book Day activities. For the pig’s snout, a takeaway plastic cup painted all over in pink over the nose.
Should World Book Day involve dressing up at all?
A blue tutu adds a fun spin to a Paddington-inspired dress, complete with a "please look after this bear" tag. Your little one might love the three movies, but did they know it started off as a book? Cressida Cowell wrote 12 How to Train your Dragon books, and created The Hidden World. Your little one can dress like any of these characters and practice their escape of the hidden world. Social and shared experiences are a key part of World Book Day celebrations. The important thing is that the day is fun and that children have the chance to talk about what they’re reading.
From a health & safety perspective, Face Bobs are a safe alternative. All you will need to do is to get your son or daughter to wear appropriate colour clothing. Many childrens books have animals as main characters, so Face Bobs may just be what you are looking for.

Take a look at this information page we have set up, it has so many costume ideas... World Book Day wouldn’t be complete without inviting Dr. Seuss to the party. The popular star of The Cat in the Hat is the most fun costume to wear for your child. Dress your kid in a yellow collared tshirt and a red top. Add a brown straw hat with a red paper feather sticking out on the side. You can also add a blue ribbon around the collar.
I love to write about parenting topics, Interior design, beauty and Money Saving Tips. With you dressed as Miss Trunchbull and your daughter dressed as Matilda, and you'll be an unstoppable literary duo this Halloween. Fans of Pete the Cat won't lose their cool in this Halloween costume inspired by the grade-level book.

The Very Hungry Caterpillaris a favourite book for little ones, and has been for many years.

We also have a free downloadable poster with tips on how to be a reading superhero this World Book Day.
A white shirt over normal school trousers, and a drumstick as a magic wand will work wonders with this costume. The supermarket aisles will be filled with cape costumes during Halloween fitting for this role. Just put some round glasses and face paint on the scar on his forehead. All you need is a red dress, a deck of cards, and red lipstick! Use this video tutorial to create a fabulous collar from a set of playing cards.

Pay a little extra and you will get a wand with your costume, and let's face it, that prop will be the best part of this outfit, and every playtime going forward. Your child can even get creative with the hairstyle too, which we think they will also love to do. Any character in Roald Dahl books will be a hit this World Book Day, and will let your child channel their inner mischevious selves - especially the protagonist inFantastic Mr Fox. We all know the famous book written by Italian author, Carlo Collodi, which has stood the test of time, as it was published in 1883, and is still a firm favourite today.
Dennis the Menace's signature outfite is not to be confused with Where's Wally? Half-fairy/half-vampire, Isadora is the perfect quirky costume for younger children. Download our free costume guide for our tips on dressing up as Isadora or one of her quirky companions. The story of Robin Hood and his merry men, of Maid Marian and the Sheriff of Nottingham, of Little John and Prince John, is one that holds appeal for many, many children . The fight between the rich and the poor, for justice, and the story of Robin Hood is rightly so a classic. It tells the story of crayons – in their voices – who have simply had enough!
I've been running a large fancy dress shop in Essex, England, since 1998. I'm happy to pass on my knowledge to help others. Forgive me, but the whole dressing-up endeavour should never have become a job forparents. Instead, it has always been an ideal task for children. Another great idea from the Mr Men classics, all you need is an oversized pink jumper.
Thousands of bookshops and supermarkets take part in World Book Day. The classic Beatrix Potter tales just keep on giving. To really add an air of authenticity add whiskers to the face with eyeliner pencil and a bag of carrots. You could get away with simply carrying a pig and a spider for this one! Perhaps wear a checked shirt to signify the farm.
