DS2 is supposed to dress up as a book character for World Book Day on Thursday. We have a great doctor's outfit but i can't think of a character for him to be. Are there any?
We also have a policeman's outfit and a fireman's but I can't think of any character for them either.
DS1 is going as Harry Potter so he's sorted.

Dr Foster it is unless DP comes up with anything better.

Make him his own puddle, a piece of puddle shaped cardboard covered in tin foil. He can tuck it under his arm!

Ummm. Don't want to be a pain. And obviously it is none of my business. So please feel free to tell me to p*ss off. But Dr Foster is not from a book. He is mentioned in a nursery rhyme but he is not a character from a book (unlike Dr Doolittle which would be easy if DS took a few stuffed animals with him).

Ooo Dickon I lurved him, a sort of gentler, more cerebral Mellors. In recent sequel (film) Mary has married Colin (boo). Oh dear can't stop laughing at own uselessness.

There is a [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Doctor-Maisy-Books-Lucy-Cousins/dp/0763616133/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qi d=1204580106&sr=1-6 Doctor Maisy] - tenuous - and a [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Doctor-Judy-Moody-Megan-McDonald/dp/1406302163/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&s=books& qid=1204580165&sr=1-17 Doctor Judy Moody] but not much point if LyraDS doesn't know them, I mean that's the fun really.

What about Dr. Dog (Babette Cole- I like the bit where he tells granpa off for eating beans and drinking beer, and he farts and blows the house up!!! ) Add some droopy ears and paint his face like a dog- voila!

Sorry links going wonky they do work though

There is a d=1204580106&sr=1-6 Doctor Maisy - tenuous - and a qid=1204580165&sr=1-17 Doctor Judy Moody but not much point if LyraDS doesn't know them, I mean that's the fun really.
