This is a story about a little girl called Sophie who gets kidnapped by The BFG, whose job it is to blow dreams into kids' rooms. He tells her about his terrifying neighbours – more giants – who EAT children! The story becomes a quest for Sophie and the Big Friendly Giant to defeat the others, with a little help from Her Majesty the Queen of England (God rest her soul). This one was done brilliantly last year by Beau Valentine-Russell and twin sisters Emme and Belle and it's a great one if you've got a few children at the same school.

It's surprising what you'll find lurking at the bottom of the wardrobe when you need to get creative. Many little ones might already have their own ballet costume so Angela Ballerina is another easy one to opt for. Probably Roald Dahl's most emulated World Book Day character is Matilda - the little girl with special powers and a love of books.The Paper Dolls features just that - so you can your own paper dolls - and wear a simple dress and cardigan as the little girl in the story. And it's incredibly simple to pull off. All you need is a denim dress, skirt or shorts, teamed with a pair of tights and a cardigan and finish it off with a red hair ribbon and be sure to grab a book as a prop! Bruce Bogtrotter Later, the Queen's maid Mary brushes Sophie's hair to get ready for the invitation just as a footman makes way for Sophie who enters the hallway. Sophie, wearing a navy-blue dress, walks in the hallway and meets the BFG inside to which she, the BFG, and the Queen are served breakfast inside the dining room just as she watches him try the food he never tasted before just as she is tasked to eat breakfast just like her giant friend is eating to which she eats the strawberries and whipped cream served to her during breakfast time. As the footmen serve him tea, she instructs her friend to drink tea in a proper way to which he feels dissatisfied of the tea and prefers Frobscottle over it. She then sees a group of generals marching to the Palace where the BFG devises a plan to fight against Fleshlumpeater and save England from the giants just as Sophie shows support to her friend along with the generals to which Sophie joins him. Another Donaldson favourite is The Scarecrows' Wedding - a great one if you have two children to dress up.
