A dress for Betty O'Barley and dungarees or shirt and pants for Harry O'Hay, and they're ready to plan their perfect wedding. Dani King sent us a photo of Gracie and Noah, as The Scarecrows' Wedding The Boy In The Dress Another Walliams favourite is the popular Billionaire Boy and it's pretty simple to create your own Joe Spud. Three-year-old Laurence Lowrey pulled it off brilliantly last year and you can do the same with just a white top and a whole lot of cake. Shouldn't be too difficult persuading your child to eat cake for breakfast now should it!

Harry Potter/Ron Weasley/Hermione Granger/Cho Chang – Harry Potter series by J K Rowling If you have them around at home, you can also add in white cat ears and white face paint to create Squishy’s cheeky face.

Tom – Beast Quest by Adam BladeMy 7 year old recently caught the reading bug. She has been reading all her older brothers books, which means she has devoured the Captain Underpants, Barry Loser and The Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. She is regularly falling asleep with a book on her face and I love that she just wants to read. George from Captain Underpants costume
Because, obviously you and your kids absolutely love World Book Day - and all the amazing literary costumes that come with it. But, it can be hard to know where to start with so many ideas out there... There are so many brilliant characters from wonderful books to choose from. Why not gain some last minute inspiration from The Works’ Books collection and I also wrote a post about 40 books for 5-10 year olds, which is bound to get your creative juices flowing! Popular choices on the day are always the Mr Men, the many wonderful characters from Roald Dahl stories and my choice for next year will be dressing my girls as Dr Zeuss’s Thing 1 and Thing 2 – with twins it’d be criminal not to capitalise on that photo opportunity! I asked my friends for some more handy ideas. The lovely Emma compiled a great list of simple cheap World Book Day costume ideas including a tutorial to make this awesome Diary of a Wimpy Kid head
