World Book Day!!

Today is World book day!! 

A day all us mothers dread....Trying to find the perfect costume for our little darlings...Well Ellie's was easy! She's a princess of course....Becky has decided she is now too cool to dress up and has chosen not to....Ellie was up early and I swear it's taken her longer to get ready than it takes me to get ready for a night out....

 It was wonderful seeing all the kids dressed up at school....So many princesses and lots of Tigers this year too..  

World Book Day is a celebration of authors, illustrators, books and most importantly it’s a celebration of reading....This is the 16th year there’s been a World Book Day, and on 7th March children of all ages will come together to appreciate reading. The main aim of World Book Day in the UK and Ireland is to encourage children to explore the pleasures of books and reading by providing them with the opportunity to have a book of their own. 

All children will be getting a Book Token then they can take their voucher to a local bookseller and can use it to pick one of EIGHT (exclusive, new and completely free) books. Or, if they’d rather, they can use it to get £1 off any book or audio book costing over £2.99 at a participating bookshop or book club...

I already know which one's my girls will be choosing....Horrid Henry’s Guide to Perfect Parents for Becky and Giraffes Can’t Dance Colouring and Puzzle Fun for Ellie....

Both my girls love books....Becky especially....She can quite happily sit and read for hours and can easily read a book from cover to cover without getting bored...Ellie is growing to love books too...
