Grantham youngsters wear wonderful costumes to mark World Book Day




Peter Rabbit, Cat in the Hat, Wednesday Addams and many more characters from beloved books were brought to life yesterday (Thursday) on World Book Day.

School uniforms were cast aside for bright, colourful costumes as little ones were able to be their favourite characters for the day.

Parents have sent in pictures of their children dressed the part, and below is a selection.
