SCHOOL pupils across the country are dressing up as their favourite literary characters today for World Book Day.

World Book Day is held in March each year and is a registered charity with the mission to give every child and young person a book of their own.

If your child is taking part today, we’d love to see pictures of them in their costumes.

If you have a mini Harry Potter, Stick Man, Matilda, The Gruffalo or even Gangsta Granny, take a picture and we'll upload your photos to a gallery.

  • You can share them with us by clicking the link at the bottom of the article!
