Children and grown-ups across Ellesmere Port celebrated World Book Day last Thursday (March 6) by dressing up as their favourite book characters.
Our Twitter feed (@EPPioneer) and Ellesmere Port Pioneer Facebook page were full of creative costumes from Cruella Deville from 101 Dalmatians to Toy Story’s Woody, Red Riding Hood to The Incredible Hulk.
Libby Feeney, six, from Capenhurst CE Primary School, was so taken with her book that she found a comfy spot on top of the bronze elephant outside Chester Cathedral to find out what happens next.
Pictures from Chester's World Book Day can be found in our first gallery and second gallery .
World Book Day was first celebrated in the UK in 1995 and takes place on the first Thursday in March.
To encourage reading, all children are entitled to receive a £1 World Book Day book token which they can swap for specially-produced WBD books.
