Smiley, I hear you....my son wouldn't have any truck with it either. He attends a special school and refused to take in a book ("we don't normally do that Mum") and has point blank refused to dress up. He has gone in non uniform and says he will tell anyone who asks about his clothes choice that he is "a writer".

Problem solved.

Btw...has everyone seen the viral photo on FB of the two kids in school uniform whose Dad says he forgot World Book Day so they are going as Page 69 and 165 of the Argos catalogue. The boy is holding a hairdryer and the little girl has a toaster...their faces are just priceless.

Paddington Bear and David Walliams Awful Auntie!

Our son has ASD and doesn't like dressing up unfortunately so I did something a bit different to celebrate World Book Day.

"I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book" ~J.K Rowling

I've posted this to celebrate World Book Day - Our eldest is currently learning to read and he is doing really well. There's something about him reading his book to me that is so very magical it sumply melts my heart. I hope his love of reading will only increase as he discovers all the amazing books for him to discover as he gets older.

Oops here

PosieReturningParker · 03/03/2016 13:58

At 3.30 yesterday afternoon my kids told me their school was participating in WBD. My son was adamant that Kylo Ren was a book character, he ran upstairs to show me the book he has with him in....

"Mummy, I would love to be Mary Poppins" said 9yr old DD. My face turned ashen.... "Mary Poppins? Really? Not one of the famous five?"
"No, definitely Mary Poppins" said DD with a huge smile, she was very please with herself for making a decision. She never makes decisions and gets very very upset at not knowing what to do. It's something we're working hard on!

So here is the literary giant Kylo Ren and Mary Poppins.

Here is our Charlie Bucket
He's not a massive fan of face paints so we needed something simple! He loves Roald Dahl books so this was perfect.

The Twits! Luckily they are much more pleasant than the characters in real life help making their own costumes whilst I have been ill with flu!

Wendles80 · 03/03/2016 12:21

Here we have the handmade costumes I made of The Scarecrow from Wizard of Oz and Robin Hood. I love World Book day, always make an effort to make a costume :-) Past years have included Mr Twit and The Mad Hatter!
