From Where’s Wally to Harry Potter to Dear Zoo, children from schools across Portsmouth and its surrounding area pulled out the stops.
The theme for World Book Day this year is ‘Go All In’ in a bid to promote the importance of reading in a modern and fun way, with youngsters also benefitting from a book token to spend at participating stores.
