Schools across our area dressed up as their favourite book characters on Thursday, and there were some incredible creations and imaginations coming alive.

There were a number of book-themed activities in schools, including North Thoresby Primary Academy pupils who decorated paper plates into the faces of their favourite book characters.

You can see these photos published in our World Book Day special in this week’s Louth Leader.
