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.

My little girl decided to be her favourite character - face paint and stripy socks are waiting for the big day tomorrow!

Her words 'I'm going to look awesome mummy!'

Alice - not the best photo because it doesn't show any of her accessories (cake, bottle, dormouse, rabbit with waistcoat and watch) but the one I have with me from this morning. I am rather proud of it because I started with just cheap fabric and a lot of googling!

DD loves the Wizard of Oz (and new shoes!) so she has gone as Dorothy. She loves her red sparkly shoes and is already planning to re-use the costume when we go to see Wicked next month.

My Son has gone as the Tiger who came to tea. I'm not the most creative when it comes to outfits but I made a small effort in making the tiger food tin!

Jake is Henry, Luke is the pirate! They didn't do dressing up last year and only gave us one day's notice hence the cobbled together look!

Katie Morag and her younger sister Katie Toerag. 3 weeks of knitting in, DD1 thought she might change her mind and be Mildred Hubble. She changed her mind back (presumably when she saw the look on my face) and was very happy with her costume this morning!
