World Book Day


Did you know that World Book Day is the first Thursday of March? In other words, today! What a coincidence, looking for some material for a post to spice up the blog, I found out that this is a celebration that has been taking place since 1995 and officially recognized by UNESCO. In Britain, children in some schools dress up as literary characters. Read this article from the BBC News Magazine. So what are you waiting for, pick up a book and dress up. Now let me think, I'm trying to decide if I should dress up as Huck Finn or Captain Ahab. What literary character do you think would make a good costume?
