This one is possibly the easiest on to pull off simply pop some underpants over the top of your clothes, preferably white or light in colour and you've got yourself Captain Underpants! Sophie from The BFG Another Julia Donaldson favourite is The Scarecrows' Wedding - this could be a good option if you have two children. The staff room was littered with cakes and some of the Teachers had a hard time resisting them! (Particularly Mr Fisher). Judging was a very difficult task but ably undertaken by the lovely Mrs Hook and the wonderful Mrs Hodge. (Mrs Hodge has her own cake business -and is married to Mr Hodge!) Generously top one layer of chocolate cake with the chocolate cream cheese frosting. Place another cake layer on top of it and repeat the process until all the layers are done. Remember to frost the outside of the cake as well.

Librarian and teacher Yasmine Choudry said: “It was an affirmation of the students’ commitment, love of books, of reading, writing and wanting to celebrate literature. It was a good day, both busy and lovely.” All you need is pyjamas or a nightie, some glasses and your own jar of 'sweet dreams', easily done with a washed out jam jar, some paper and even better if you can include some battery powered fairy lights or candles to add to the magic. Room on the Broom Roald Dahl's Matilda is still one of his best-loved books, and the new musical adaption is fast becoming a firm favourite. What more reason do you need to wear a costume from Matilda this World Book Day?

How to make a whirligig Easter chick…

Chocolate sponge– This is by far the easiest and the best chocolate sponges I have ever made in my life. It’s chocolatey, dark and most importantly, EGGLESS! I know that so many of you ask me for eggless recipes and this is just one of those cakes that you have to make in your kitchens. Since this is an eggless cake, I use yogurt as a substitute for eggs. Yogurt is a great alternative and one of the most common ingredients used as a substitute for eggs. It gives the cake a very similar texture and makes it fluffy and light. Cut 2 tiny pieces off the remaining blueberry for eyes, and pop them on your ladybird head to finish it’s face. Melt the chocolate – if you have a microwave put it in a microwave safe bowl and give it 30 seconds at a time, stir after each turn and continue until melted. If you don’t have a microwave put the chocolate in a bowl above a pan of boiling water and stir continuously until it has all melted. Leave it to cool for 5 minutes.

Bin the Knife, Save a Life: For the sake of all our children we must unite to stop another knife-crime tragedy The main thing needed here is straw! Grab some wellies and hats and stuff them with straw and your half way there. Beth said: “My cake was inspired by Macbeth as we are studying it for GCSE English Literature and Drama. Nothing can beat reading a good book as it takes us to places and adventures where we have never been. This has truly been the case for me because I have seen myself being transported to a different world every time I read a cookbook. I started baking when I was 16 and I didn’t know life had so much in store for me. Apart from being a baker and blogger, writing and sharing recipes with you guys through my books has been something that has brought me the most amount of joy.Wondering about more egg substitutes? There is an entire blog post dedicated to that and I know it will give you a better understanding of the entire thing! Another easy one is Angelina Ballerina. Many little girls already have a tutu or ballet costume at home so it could be an easy and cost free option. 101 Dalmatians Mr Stink is another Walliams favourite. All you need is some old clothes, a coat that has seen better days and a 'Mr Stink for Prime Minister' handmade sign. For the sponge, heat 100ml of the milk with the chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water (don’t let the water touch the bowl), stirring occasionally, until the chocolate has melted. Cool slightly.

It’s World Book Day you guys, and being an author, this day holds a very special place in my heart. Books can help start interesting conversations across different generations and I have personally seen that books bring people together. Whether it’s to discuss a topic or to spend an afternoon baking from that cookbook on your book shelf, books have the capability of making a dull day seem brighter. On this World Book Day, I want to talk to you about my two books, what’s next in store as well as share a beautiful recipe from my book, Desserts for Every Mood. Give me your pastries and puddings! Give me your chocolate and cake! For I am the Rat of the Highway….. And whatever I want I take.” – Highway Rat by Julia DonaldsonWe also shared updates about the very exciting new projects we have coming up: Share a Story Corner and World Book Day Book Club! Our campaign plan for the upcoming years will aim to reach more children that ever before. We want to make sure every child has access to books, and ourupcoming events – all digital for the year ahead – will help children enjoy reading for pleasure as a life-long habit. World Book Day - a controversial annual event that creates mixed emotion amongst parent's. While some love it and go all out for other's it's just another unnecessary expense. Some students brought their cakes in on the school bus and one even dropped his twice, but it was still entered. All 38 students were rewarded with a special headteacher’s breakfast and chocolate and the winners got book tokens.
