As this years World Book Day fast approaches, get ready for your child to wow their friends and classmates with the best World Book Day costumes for both boys and girls and teachers. If you are looking for kids book week costumes then you've come to the right place. At Smiffy's, we offer a whole host of licensed book day fancy dress from popular and classic children's books ensuring that you won't be short of choice. World Book and Copyright Day, as it is sometimes known, is annual charity event held in the UK and Ireland on the first Thursday in March. The event focuses on the promotion of reading, copyright and publishing, and the kid's dress up as their favourite character. So think characters like Where's Wally and Goosebumps and you kind of get the gist. The next event falls on Thursday 7th March 2019. The event is different to that of Children's Book Week, now known as Bookstart Week. We have a brand new David Walliams costume collection that features outfits for all your favourite fancy dress characters. Or, your children can amaze their friends as an Awesome Egyptian, or look great as a Groovy Greek with our Horrible Histories costumes. Alternatively, the Willy Wonka costume from our extensive Roald Dahl Costumes fancy dress collection may just be the magic ticket for your little one to please the playground. As always, as with any Smiffy's fancy dress costume, your child's safety is our number one priority. With all of our costumes adhering to the strictest safety and quality standards, there's no reason why not to don an Enid Blyton costume or dress up as Peter Rabbit.
