World Book Day has a funny way of sneaking up on parents. One minute you’re feeling organised, the next you’re being casually reminded at pick-up that your child needs a full literary transformation by tomorrow morning. If glue guns and glitter aren’t your idea of a relaxing evening, our edit is here to save the day! Quick, easy and surprisingly creative, they take the pressure off while still letting kids step into the shoes of their favourite storybook characters – no midnight crafting required.

Heads Up: World Book Day 2026 is on Thursday 5th March
