My Book about Me by Mr Silly : A World Book Day Title

Product Information

I suppose, at the end of the day, the Narnia books taught me about being brave and confident with the will move forward and the grit to make a positive of our shared adversity. I take from this that we may reach points where we think there is no way forward and things will not improve. Quite often as adults we can get caught in a rut, or the monotony of routine, that leaves us wanting. Five stories and accompanying activities featuring some of the most popular Mr Men and Little Miss characters Make a simple mask. Paper plates are great for making simple masks. You can turn your child into pretty much any World Book Day character they fancy with a little crafting.

Every toddler’s favourite! Perfect for a simple but fun nursery costume. All you need is circles of card – or paper plates. Kids love to help make this one. There are also many books that feature school children – Starting School, Matilda for a start so perhaps you don’t have to do much at all. Nargish Khambatta, Principal, CEO and Vice President-Education, GEMS Modern Academy The Selfish Giant by Oscar WildeA sweet costume for younger kids. A blue top and light shorts, plus bunny ears and a carrot for Peter Rabbit. Or for Lily Bobtail, a pink or red dress. The end of the bedtime story? As research suggests fewer parents read to their kids, we rediscover the joys of storytime

Got a blonde daughter? Put her hair in bunches and send her as Lola from Charlie and Lola. Harry Potter just needs a lightning strike and a pair of round glasses. Go for a 'Blue Peter style' outfit with a bit of cardboard, paint or felt tips Look through EVERYONE'S wardrobes. Dad's tie may make a great Penny Crayon costume and an apron could be fashioned into an Alice in Wonderland dress. Wilde’s story has so many meanings but one that resonates with me is the innate ability of children to connect to the world around them, their joy in nature and most of all, their ability to melt the hardest of hearts.These fancy dress creations are so easy, they can even be thrown together in the morning before heading into school if necessary. It's just a question of figuring out what your child is interested in and working out which book character reflects that hobby or sport. Go on a reading adventure with Mr Men and Little Miss. Here are all the resources you need to run a Mr Men and Little Miss-themed competition in your school or early years setting. Also take a look at our World Book Day gallery to see all the fabulous pics of costumes families have sent in over the past couple of years. It is World Book Day, and schools across the UAE will be teeming with mini BFGs, surprisingly convincing Harry Potters, and the least scary Gruffalos you ever did see. But, as adorable and impressive as the tome-themed costumes are, the true literary heroes that we celebrate today are books themselves. Everyone knows and adores this lovable bear! And it’s quite simple to dress up like him too. All you need is a blue raincoat (or a blue dress if you can’t find a raincoat), a red hat and some bear ears! 4. A Mr Men or Little Miss Character –

One year Boy’s class was given the Katie Morag books, and with confidence and relish he decided to go as Granny Island. He donned one of my floral tunics as a dress, we had a grey wig in the dressing up box… and off he went. Not for one second did his 8yr old self believe spending a day in an old lady dress might leave him open to ridicule – and such was his panache that he made it all the way through to lunchtime before realising a dress isn’t up to football on the field, and switching for his PE kit for the rest of the day. I was pretty proud, actually. Got a child who is always in their onesie? Go with it! An animal print all-in-one is ideal for any creature from Dear Zoo. If you have a lion onesie, go as Simba from Lion King or a giraffe can be from Giraffes Can’t Dance. Coming in all shapes and sizes, and delighting kids and adults of all ages, books are not only our windows to the world, but the windows to our own souls. Just as colour is a reflection of light, so our own feelings and histories colour in the meaning of a book, refracting the author’s intention through the prism of our own reality. There’s a reason ‘What’s your favourite book?’ is such a common first date question: books can reveal us just as much as they reveal to us. Start with a stripey jumper. It can be the start of many an easy costume including Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Minx, Where's Wally, or Horrid Henry.

Reading this book opened my eyes to the sometimes harsh reality of the experience of others, it was an insight and an awakening of awareness that I can still vividly recall nearly 50 years later. It’s so true that reading allows us to live many lives, and for me The Silver Sword was the beginning. The adventure includes five stories and accompanying activities suitable for children aged three to seven to promote storytelling, communication and language. Ask the children to come along dressed up as their favourite book character to add to the spirit of the evening. Get the leaders involved too and create a real buzz in your Anchor Section. 5. Getting into the Bible: The Wordless Book Jolly’s a penguin from ‘Creatures Of The Sea’ (have never even seen the book, no idea if it has penguins in it, but he looked adorable).
