It’s no surprise that our bookcase is bulging with all different genres of books. We are all bookworms in our home. I love how the boys share our love of books, and regular visits to our local library always sees us heading home with all kinds of books, from resources for home schooling to bedtime stories. Introducing the boys to books at a very young age has certainly payed off.
What we’ve been reading recently
Jayden has been enjoying Roald Dahl’s Collection. He is loving this set at the moment, just as I did when I was younger. His favourites so far are The BFG and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It’s no surprise that he loves the films just as much too.
What we want to read next
David Walliams books are on our what to read next list.
World Book Day
Every little bookworm loves World Book Day. Getting to dress up as their favourite characters from books. There really are some fab kids dressing up costumes out there to choose from. Not just for World Book Day of course, but for everyday play. It’s fab for encouraging role play. I think Rubies costumes really bring fantasy to life with their dressing up range. From a pretty princess to a horrid Henry, anything is possible.
Jayden has always loved dressing up, especially when he was in his toddler years and I’m sure Joben will be the same. We have had a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle hanging out in the house, a PJ masks Gekko drop kicking the baddies and even the BFG has been spotted! Even us big kids have been known to go to a few fancy dress parties.
Children can get inspired to write their own stories by using a name generator to get them started. I wonder what amazing story your little one/s will create?
Who will your little one be for World Book Day? Let me know in the comments.

Aggh world book day, I’m hoping that my daughters school doesn’t do this although I fear they will!
i dont think our school are doing it this year 🙁
I’m still not sure about our World Book Day costumes. Naomie always wants to be Spiderman and Leyla always wants to be Hermione so we’ll see if we get any variety this year or stick to the same old 😉
Hi Jayne, Roald Dahl books are fantastic and I love your box set. Ours was nowhere near as bright and colourful. When I was pregnant I was more excited about collecting books to read with my two than cute clothes and we spent many hours enjoying books together. Micheal Morpurgo has to be one of the best authours for children’s books out there, his books are so well written…. Jayden looks good as the BFG, I love his cheeky smile.

We are ready for world book day too. Getting the books and pyjamas ready for my little ones to wear to school.
I use to love the Roald Dahl’s books when I was growing up. I miss World book day dressing up my daughter fun now she is at big school. Great costume 🙂
We are just about ready too…loving the costume!
Great ideas! Mine is going as Rodrick from The Wimpy Kid ?
OMG that is such a cute outfit. Mine are going as the Cat in the Hat and Thing One and Thing Two
What a fab BFG costume! Roald Dahl was one of my favourite authors growing up!
I have never dressed up for world book day before but I do love seeing all the kids dress up as there favourite book character. I would dress up as harry potter.
For some reason, my daughter’s school no longer does anything for World Book Day, which is a bit of a mixed blessing really. Oh one hand I don’t have to faff around trying to sort out a costume, but on the other, it seems a real shame they don’t celebrate such a fab day. She went as one of the 101 Dalmations one year, but goodness only knows what she would want to go as now. Great post and good to see those Roald Dahl books #MMBC x
I’m so not ready for World Book Day, but fortunately we have some dresses in the dressing up box that will help us out. I love your sons outfit
