IF there’s anything we love more than seeing our kids in fancy dress, it’s having them dress up as their favourite storybook characters.

To celebrate this year’s World Book Day, we asked The Sun Online readers to send in photos of their children all dressed up to mark the occasion – and the adorable snaps did not disappoint.

Celebrated for more than 20 years, World Book Day has children – and even parents! – racking their brains to come up with the most creative costumes possible.

Leading the way for the most spot-on Dorothy we’ve ever seen, Evie, 9, headed into school this morning dressed as the Wizard of Oz’s heroine.

Complete with a gingham dress and toy Toto, dressing as Dorothy was a no-brainer for the Year Five student as the Wizard of Oz is one of her favourite books.

Meanwhile little brother Teddy looked adorable as Cuddly Dudley and was desperate to dress as the penguin because his mother read all four stories to her children growing up.
