The schools in our area that took part in the event yesterday included Roman Way Academy in Royston, Ashwell Primary School and Reed First School.
Arabella Stokes, from Roman Way, became Alice in Wonderland - a story she absolutely loves, which her mum Jemma and dad Adam read to her all the time.

Reed First School's headteacher Vicky Wittich said they had "fabulous book character costumes at their World Book Day celebrations".
