The celebration took place on Thursday and over the years the Dorset Echo has enjoyed sharing photos of young readers dressed up as their favourite book characters.
We asked to see pictures of your costumes and a selection of photos werepublished yesterday, Monday, March 11, in an eight-page supplement in the Echo.
Hundreds of children across the county took part in World Book Day 2024, showing off some carefully constructed costumes.
These varied from the flamboyant - like nattily dressed Willy Wonkas, right through to the downright absurd such as the spoon from another Roald Dahl favourite, George's Marvellous Medicine.
World Book Day is a charity with the aim to help change children’s lives by making reading together and reading for pleasure a habit for life.
The organisation says that reading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator for success in life - more than family circ*mstances, educational background, or income.
A spokesperson said earlier: "Sharing stories together for just 10minutes a day will encourage a love of reading and it’s fun for everyone! You can read together anywhere and everywhere, from breakfast to bedtime! In the park, on the train, on the sofa, on a plane – reading and sharing stories can happen anywhere at any time."
Designated by UNESCO as a worldwide celebration of books and reading, World Book Day is marked in over 100 countries around the globe.
