From Amelia Earhart to Mr Bean to Where’s Wally?, parents have pulled out all of the stops this year for World Book Day. The idea behind the day is to encourage children to get reading and every child in education across the UK will receive a book token to spend at participating stores.
Here are 175 fantastic pictures of children dressed up for World Book Day:
