Roman Goddess Costume - perfect for Book DayIt is that time of year again when Book Day are the words on every child’s lips. This year World Book Day will commence March 3rd and is set to bigger and better than ever. It is the largest book event, celebrating the works of many famous authors. The celebration takes place across the UK and Ireland, giving children the chance to get involved in the history of British and Irish literature.
During the day children are given the opportunity to come to school in a costume that symbolises or mimics their favourite story or fictional character. Schools host Book Day fancy dress events to encourage children to become actively involved in books and with fun activities and a number of initiatives, these children often become passionate little book worms.
If your child will be dressing up for a Book Day event have a look through our Book Day Costumes to see what is available. There is a great range of costumes for you to choose from, whether you want them to dress in a historic costume or as a modern fictional character like a Disney Princess.
