erhaps the fact that it’s Book Week – again – comes as no surprise to you. Perhaps you have already hand-crafted a whole-head Gruffalo mask from papier-mache and are just mixing the perfect purple for the custom-made prickles down the back of the body suit which you have designed and sewn for your child? Perhaps you are in the testing-for-breathability-stage of constructing the Cheshire cat costume you pulled together a week ago? Well done to you – and bonus points for the classics.

But perhaps, instead, you have just received a mildly expletive-laden WhatsApp group-chat message reminding you and all the other parents that Book Week is, once more, nigh. Did you have plans to make Grandma Poss’ apron and recreate all the foods that finally make Hush seen? I’m sure you did. We all did. But, here we are, a few days out from Book Week – and no apron.A simple helmet and vest turned Fleur Connick into a Saddle Club character for Book Week.We are here to help.

Firstly, some parameters. Anything that begins as a TV or movie is out. We might be late to the costume party but we still have standards. Like any other proprietor of young girls, I have 3.4 Elsa costumes shoved in a cupboard ready and willing to make an outing. But we’re all better than that, right? Yes there are booksFrozen and Moana and Bluey and there are very cheap, flammable costumes readily available from your friendly department store, but let’s aim for the low-lying stars.
