  • I love all of these, and there are so many cheap options available these days. It doesn’t have to be expensive or a competition.

  • Book Week is always fun but we try to keep it as simple as possible to avoid stress and spending too much money. This year my Son is going as a Ninja from the book Ninja Kid and my Daughter is going as Mary Poppins or Pippi Long Stockings.

  • I love the Dorothy costume! The book week game has really lifted since I was a kid. Mum always use to make me a costume of some kind and paint my face to match.
