WORLD Book Day gives kids (and big kids) a fantastic opportunity to dress up as their favourite literary characters.
And mid Cheshire did not disappoint.
We have been inundated with pictures of the weird and wonderful costumes on show at schools and nurseries across our part of the county.
From Gangsta Granny to comic book superheroes, there have been some fantastic pictures sent in.
Now, we've loved them all and you can see the full selection of pictures here.
But we have pulled out our favourite 12 outfits below. We look forward to seeing even more next year!
Our favourite 12 World Book Day outfits
In no particular order, our favourite costumes are:
Clark Kilty as Puss in Boots
The three-year-old, who attends Little Angels Nursery, loves everyone's favourite swashbuckling feline!
Macey Evans as Cruella de Vil
Hold on to your Dalmatians! Lower Peover pupil Macey, aged 11, has really captured the essence of the popular Disney villain.
Eli Forshaw as Mantis (from Goosebumps A Shocker on Shock Street)
Eight-year-old Moulton pupil Eli must have been 'bugging' his teachers at school yesterday!
Oskar-James Smith as an Oompa Loompa
Oompa Loompa doompety do... Little Oskar-James, aged two, looks more like he attends Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory than Sunrise Nursery in Wharton!
Archie and Harper Holland as a Slytherin student with a Mandrake
We had many Harry Potter-themed pictures sent in, but none more original than Archie, aged seven, and eight-week-old Harper! Little Harper looks ready to unleash a deadly Mandrake cry!
Daniel Metcalf as Where's Wally
We had so many Where's Wally pictures sent in, it was hard to find five-year-old Moulton Primary School pupil Daniel, but then again, that's the aim right?
Rosie Roberts as Mary Poppins
We think seven-year-old Rosie, who attends Winnington Park Primary School, could give Julie Andrews and Emily Blunt a run for their money as everyone's favourite nanny!
William Norbury as Space Boy
William, aged three, looks like he took a rocket to Winnington Park Primary School yesterday!
Rita Scanlan as a Granny from Ye Cannae Shove Yer Granny Off A Bus
Hopefully Rita, aged six, survived her bus ride to Hartford Primary School without being shoved off!
Olivia Killcross as Wednesday Addams
Seven-year-old Olivia really channelled her Christina Ricci to get just the right look for Wednesday!
Georgie Webster as Gangsta Granny
Victoria Road Primary School pupil Georgie, aged seven, has really pulled off the character from David Walliams beloved book!
Amela Newton as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz
She's not in Kansas anymore! Amela, aged six, is off to see the wizard with Toto!
