It's World Book Day on March 6. What inspired (or desperate) costume feats have you pulled off in the past? Post your pictures (old or new) here and on Friday 14 March we'll put all the entries into a pot and pluck four out. The winner will receive a wonderful Hugless Douglas bear and three runners up will each receive a bundle of books from World Book Day authors.

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

My son went as the Pied Piper of Hamelin today.

Book days don't have to be expensive: two cheap pillow cases made up the tunic; a construction paper hat; and the string of rats was made out of scraps of material stuffed with toilet paper.

We usually forget or do something very last minute. This year we have been super organised and he went as Bugsy Malone. He was very proud of his duck tape splatter gun!

My little poser dressed as Wanda? I think from Where's Wally. She kindly told me on Tuesday that the theme was Where in the world is Wally.

The hat is made from a John Smiths England hat!

Wally, Alice and Harry! Dd3's last three years WBD costumes. We used a Cinderella dress for Alice and made the extra bits. Wally wore 3D cinema glasses minus the plastic lens,Tin Tin's dog Snowy doubled up as Woof and Harry had the actual robes this year because I thought he deserved a treat Grin and the HP books are our children's favourites.

For our world book day teaching autonomously we went to castle and dressed up in tudor costumes. My son enjoys reading Horrible history and re living some of the scenes and cooking the foods.
