It's World Book Day today, Thursday, March 5, and we would love to see pictures of children, teachers and anyone else in their costumes!

In previous years, we've seen some fantastic and creative outfits, and we're sure this year will be no different.

Last year we loved this picture of a mum getting in on the action with her children, dressing up as Miss Trunchbull from Roald Dahl's Matilda to complement her young Scrooge and Matilda, who were marking World Book Day 2025 at Southill Primary School.

So for 2026 we want to see if your World Book Day outfits, however elaborate or simple. 

We will put them in a special online gallery and give shout-outs to our favourite costumes.

Simply click into the link below to submit your picture of you, your child, your school class or group looking resplendent on World Book Day 2026.
