It’s World Book Day!
And little ones across Teesside have been dressing up as their very favourite literary characters to celebrate.
From Alice in Wonderland through to The Tiger Who Came to Tea - there were certainly costumes to impress.
The day is designated by UNESCO in over 100 countries to encourage children to discover new authors, illustrators, books and all kinds of reading.
Many children will receive get a £1 voucher to spend at school book fairs on special titles or to put towards buying another book.
Your proud pictures have come flooding in and here we have displayed them in our gallery.
Leanne Loughran sent us this video of son Charlie Loughran Wild as he made his way to Thornaby Village Primary School for World Book Day.
Charlie, six , was born with numerous medical problems and has a cleft lip and palate.
He dressed as Danny Zuko from Grease having become obsessed with the film while recovering from an operation last year.
Leanne, from Thornaby, said: "He watches the movie at least once a day".
