World Book Day takes place on March 3 this year, giving children the chance to dress up as their favourite book characters and take part in special activities across the UK.
The annual event, which was founded by UNESCO in 1995, is a celebration of books and reading and is marked in over 100 countries around the globe.
If you've forgotten to buy a costume for your child, don't fret. There are plenty of last-minute fancy dress options from the likes of Amazon and Very, plus you can order with next day delivery and click and collect.
