IT's that time of the year again - World Book Day is back and The Northern Echo is publishing some of the best costumes your child is wearing to mark the occasion!

Across the globe today (March 5), children of all ages are going to school dressed up as their faviourite characters from their best book.

If you would like to see your child pictured on our website click on the "add your contribution now" button below, attach your photo and include the name, age and school the child attends.

If you are a school, please send as many photos as you are willing to to the same address with names and ages of those taking part if possible!
