As this years World Book Day fast approaches, get ready for your child to wow their friends and classmates with the best World Book Day costumes for both boys and girls and teachers. If you are looking for ideas for schools or activities, then you've come to the right place. At MAD Distribution, we offer a whole host of character outfits and licensed costumes from a range of popular and classic children's books ensuring that you won't be short of World Book Day fancy dress ideas with MAD Distribution. World Book and Copyright Day, as it is sometimes known, is annual charity event held in the UK and Ireland on the first Thursday in March. The event focuses on the promotion of reading, copyright and publishing. So think characters like Where's Wally and Goosebumps and you kind of get the gist. The event is different to that of Childrens Book Week, also known as Bookstart Week. We have a brand new David Walliams costume collection that features outfits for all your favourite fancy dress characters. Or, your children can amaze their friends as an Awesome Egyptian, or look great as a Groovy Greek with our Horrible Histories costumes. Alternatively, the Willy Wonka costume from our extensive Roald Dahl Costumes fancy dress collection may just be the magic ticket for your little one to please the playground. As always, as with any MAD Distribution fancy dress costume, your child's safety is our number one priority. With all of our costumes adhering to the strictest safety and quality standards, there's no reason why not to don an Enid Blyton costume or dress up as Peter Rabbit.
