FROM Harry Potter to Avatar and the Gruffalo to Mary Poppins, children across St Helens celebrated their favourite characters for World Book Day 2023.
This year's event will take place in two weeks' time - Thursday, March 7 - so we thought we'd take a look back at some of our favourite costumes from 2023.
Do you need a little inspiration this year? Are you planning to make a World Book Day costume or find the perfect outfit in the shops or online?
Here are some of our favourite pictures from last year to inspire you and your children ahead of this year's World Book Day.
