'Hansel and Gretel' published in 1812 by the Brothers Grimm. 🏠 🍬 🍫 🍭 

How absolutely adorable is this Candy House Book Week Costume with Hansel in it!! The nostalgic feel when we look at this picture takes us right into the woods where Hansel and Gretel discovered the candy house and all that came with it!  He even has the bread crumbs! 

'The Magic Faraway Tree' by Enid Blyton.... 
.... introducing Silky!!

How special to share Book Week at school with your child.  @tamieneweycreative got to do just that plus transform herself into the beautiful Silky for the day.  What a beautiful Silky she is too!  That long silky hair and oh those wings!!! We love she brought MoonFace along for the parade too!  Absolutely beautiful Book Week Costumes you have created 😍

These photos are just so beautiful @tamieneweycreative and we would like to say a massive thank you for sharing them with our Book Week Costume community to inspire others!  Well done πŸ‘πŸ»

'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' by J.K Rowling..... introducing 'Fluffy'!!! 

How epic is this Book Week Costume!! Fluffy is the three-headed guard dog of Hagrids who was lent to Dumbledore to protect the Philosophers Stone.  What a brilliant (said in Ron Weasleys voice) idea for Book Week!  So worth all the effort @authentically.ari.r πŸ‘πŸ» 

Thank you so much for sharing to our Book Week Costume community.

'The Carousel Horse'  by Tony Mitton 🎠

We get super excited when we get 'mail' like this!!! A magical creation sparking the endless imagination of a child as they become the character of a treasured story through their Book Week Costume.  Everything Book Week is about!

This beautiful carousel 🎠 Book Week Costume has been lovingly hand made by @muskanchand 
How exquisite are all the little details.  The traditional fair colours with the little mirrors up the top. The animals to ride plus the carriage for the less adventurous.  The red and white stripe poles.  We can hear the fair music in our imaginations as we look at these amazing photos.

Thank you so much @muskanchand  for sharing your amazing Book Week Costume with us and this incredible community ❀️ 🀍❀️🀍🎠 She looks truly incredible. πŸ‘πŸ»

'Daisy Eat Your Peas' by Kes Gray and Nick Sharratt πŸ«› 

This little pea is so adorable dressed up as Daisy for her Book Week Costume.  She doesn't like peas either, just like her Daddy 🀣 

Sometimes the simple costumes are the most fun and @emidz  she looks too cute dressed up.  Thank you for sharing!!!

*no little peas were harmed in the making of these photos. πŸ™Š
