Getting a princess poppy (trolls movie) costume for world book day

[Musereader]

Dd is 5 and not quite reading yet, but her favourite movie is trolls and I'm struggling with ideas for world book day for something not overly girly as she is not a girly girl that wears dresses, she prefers to wear jeans. I'm sure there are some books with princess poppy in by now.

Otherwise I was going to go for Alice or Dorothy.

Fwiw her cousin is going as Iron Man, who is probably in many books but did not start there.

The books I read to her are the generic fairy tales for kids, 3 little pigs, sleeping beauty, red riding hood, Billy goats gruff etc , she has some peppa pig ones and some paw patrol ones too, but she does not have the patience for Alice in wonderland or even Beatrix Potter, we are still on 8 page board books, which is totally unlike me as I was reading before school and was reading Noddy and other Enid Blyton books when I was 5. I even bought a beautiful illustrated Enchanted wood book and she got bored 1 page in.

At 5 my DD was the same. She certainly couldn't listen to a chapter book! She in Y5 now and just got the highest mark in the class in a reading comprehension test they did. They all have their own pace!

My children love reading and have always hated dressing up for World Book Day. I used to make an effort but that wore off long ago. Youngest is going in Star Wars. If your DD likes those kind of stories OP I bet she's enjoy Julia Donaldson. Lots of repetition. Also many of the others mentioned. Allan Ahlberg etc.

Some children just don't like reading. DD3 would rather watch Bing or Peppa Pig

Yes, but the british school system (and life as a functioning adult) will require them to have good reading skills, which starts with being read to regularly at home.

My kids would rather eat chocolate than broccoli but I don't let them. My youngest also loves a bit of Bing but we read too.

Oh she stills read I'm not just letting her go illiterate . She just doesn't like it. And it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with her.
