JUNIOR bookworms are set to celebrate an event which encourages everyone to dip into a tall tale or scintillating story.

Young people across the region will be going to school dressed as their favourite literary character to mark World Book Day on Thursday March 2.

Whether it is Willy Wonka, Dennis the Menace or Horrid Henry, school uniforms will be out of fashion as pupils parade their costumes.

Share the fun by sending us a snap or video of your child in their costume as they play their part in the twentieth anniversary of this annual event.

We would also like to know why your child chose their particular character so please include a short message with your picture or video.
