14 favourite funny tweets about World Book Day 2021
World Book Day is a does-what-it-says-on-the-tin kind of day, inasmuch as it’s a worldwide celebration of books – even if those books are sometimes Panini Football Stars sticker albums.
Schools, libraries, authors, celebrities from all walks of life and book shops get involved.

Kicking off #WorldBookDay with our smallest, largest, longest and rarest.
This is the 'German ABC' published in 1971. At just 3×2.5 mm it was once the smallest book in the world.
It is NOT the smallest in our collection. pic.twitter.com/6lqol5hZNe

Happy #WorldBookDay everyone! While I am naturally disappointed at the lack of primary school children dressing up as characters from #TheThursdayMurderClub, I will point out that you can buy a copy for Mother's Day from all of these fine places https://t.co/HfewHjN8K0

One small benefit of lockdown: if you’ve forgotten it’s #WorldBookDay you don’t have to conjure an effing Gruffalo costume in 20 minutes from some hessian and a parsnip.
