Anyone got any ideas of a fancy dress costume for Book Week ?

Hasten to add, it's not for myself.

Thank you.

If you want something really cheap and quick - Sandwich yourself between two verylarge pieces of cardboard. Paint black, draw screen and words. Go as a Kindle! -Oops no its probably promoting hard copy books isnt it, and that would upset the applecart !

All great ideas and I have passed them on. Last night it seemed that Alice could be favourite (depends on what's in her wardrobe, I suppose) and her little boy could go as Cheshire cat . This morning I see Venice's idea. Love that, so shall quickly pass the idea onwards.

Many thanks to you all.

Hope your little one enjoys the day Lollipop. We went to the panto in December and a high proportion of children went as Elsa . They love her and I'm really not sure how 3 and 4 year olds have become so engaged and fanatical with it all ?
