In case you haven't heard, it's World Book Day next week and we want to know what inspired (or desperate) costume feats are you going to pull off this year. Upload your pictures to this thread and we'll pull out a winner from the Mumsnet WBD Hat on Monday 9th March.

The winner will receive an array of Dear Zoo goodies including: bundle of signed books, book and toy set, finger puppet set, mini backpack, plastic craft apron, socks and a bowl, plate, mug set and for older readers we have a set of signed Goth Girl books and a set of signed Geek Girl books plus red sparkly Geek Girl glasses. And of course a full set of the £1 books.

If you are stuck for ideas visit our World Book Day page for some great suggestions from mumsnetters.

Dd was Pippi Longstocking this year!

Little Miss Sunshine, was originally going to be Little Miss Chatterbox but I bought yellow card instead of pink by mistake

NipLash · 05/03/2015 17:01

This is my son dressed as Plop, from The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark. He's so pleased with his costume I don't think he'll be taking it off any time soon!

My daughter was dressed as a WW2 army character from Horrible Histories. I thought it would be totally different and no one else would think of it. A few tweaks here and there but not bad from Ebay

JobofMum · 05/03/2015 16:53

My little boys and I love to read Funnybones! Today they went to Nursery as the Big Skeleton, Little Skeleton and took their Dog Skeletons with them!! First time I have managed to get them dressed, fed and in the car without a hint of a whinge!

We would love to win the books. Story is and always has been one of our most favouritest parts of the day!

Burglar Bill (I made DS's mask and swag bag which has banknotes falling out of his bag) and Goldilocks plus bears (I made the apron and ribbons)

kaytee75 · 05/03/2015 16:46

My daughter wanted to be Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)

My son went as Captain Alfonso from Cats Ahoy

meganorks · 05/03/2015 14:49

My daughter wanted to be the dragon from Room on the Broom. I doubt it will survive the afternoon at nursery but she loves it!

leccybill · 05/03/2015 14:37

This is 5yo DD as the Little Princess. I was proud of her, as she skipped in amongst a sea of Elsas and Belles, she was happy to be a bit different.

Love WBD, such a fab thing for children.

emmakiwi9 · 05/03/2015 14:20

This is our eldest Daughter dressed as Merida from Brave. She's actually really good with a bow and arrow!

hevcom71 · 05/03/2015 14:16

My daughter went as the mouse from A New House for Mouse by Petr Horacek. It's her favourite ever book and she was so pleased to go to school as Mouse today. All homemade, I'm not good at sewing but I'm creative thank goodness! #WBD2015

Jadekendall · 05/03/2015 13:41

My son Jack this world book day

snowplop · 05/03/2015 13:34

I have a Wally, a Princess Mirror-Belle (complete with Dragon Pox) and a Zog. What a great, inspirational day! I wish we'd done this when I was a child.

Pikkewyn · 05/03/2015 13:34

Ottoline and Mr Monroe from Ottoline goes to school.

flora717 · 05/03/2015 13:21

And my eldest as Ada Goth.

kelandab · 05/03/2015 13:21

My daughter Summer as Robin Hood! Daddy made the bow & arrow & I pulled together the rest using my top, a hat & belt for the bag

flora717 · 05/03/2015 13:20

My youngest as Matilda (on the back of a week of exploring Roald Dahl).

MarySeacole · 05/03/2015 13:13

DD as Aunt Alberta, from Awful Auntie. She's dyslexic, and keeps calling Wagner the Owl Wanger. I'm hoping she manages to get it right in school today...
