Updated: Your Book Week characters | Photos
Colourful characters have been seen entering schools and kindergartens all across the south-west.
Schools and kinders have been filled with superheros, witches and wizards, and all manner of storybook characters as children dress up for Book Week.
Thing 1 and Thing 2 are going to be making mischief in many classrooms, and teachers are going to be struggling to locate a number of Where’s Wally look-a-likes. Ironman, The Flash and Batgirl will be around to save the day, with Chase from Paw Patrol helping to sniff out trouble.
Old favorites such as Dorothy and Little Red Riding Hood are still skipping along the school path.
All of the pirates will be trying to “Find Your Treasure”, as part of this year’s Book Week theme.
Here are your photos that have been shared on The Standard’s Facebook page.
