World Book Day: Children and staff at schools in Dewsbury and Batley get into the literary spirit

Children across North Kirklees have been getting into the literary spirit this month by dressing up as their favourite book characters.

Schools shared photos of costumes that were worn by pupils and staff on World Book Day.

Please note: We will not be able to sell copies of the pictures as they were all provided by the schools.

Don’t miss next week’s edition of the Dewsbury Reporter, Batley & Birstall News and Spenborough Guardian – on sale on Thursday, March 19 - which will feature a World Book Day photo special.
