It’s World Book Day again and these are the costumes to beat

It’s World Book Day again, when children dress up as their favourite character from a book (or, failing that, their favourite film).

The weather means a lot of kids won’t actually make it to school today. But while we wait for our favourites, here’s the best of what they had to offer last year.

And yep, they set the bar high.
