Once upon a time a child discovered a secret power…
Kids don’t just read. They open up a book and enter a whole new world. They evade trolls, run from dementors, and learn to understand grinches. In any given day, they can befriend the Mad Hatter, a Gangsta Granny, and a Big Friendly Giant.
Reading teaches kids to face their fears and build friendships. That’s the secret power of kids’ books. From the outside it looks like reading, but on the inside they’re learning how to thrive in the real world.
What’s Book Week?
It’s fitting that the theme for Book Week 2019 is: Reading Is My Secret Power. So what is Book Week? It’s an annual literary event held across Australia. Schools, libraries, booksellers, authors, illustrators, and kids celebrate children's literature for one wonderful week.
And what’s the most marvellous part of Book Week? It’s positively and absolutely the dress-up days and costume parades. Kids love climbing into a costume and transforming into their favourite character. So you’re going to need some top Book Week costume ideas to get through!
Where do you find the perfect Book Week costume? Blossom Costumes are your secret superpower. You can find all your kids’ favourite characters among our Book Week costumes. And there are dozens of costumes on sale.
The complete guide to Book Week costumes for kids
Chapter 1. Harry Potter & the search for secret powers
Something magical happens when kids read Harry Potter. They escape werewolves, fly on hippogriffs, and make Dumbledore proud. The magic continues when kids don their very own Hogwarts robes and wave their very own wand.
These Harry Potter costumes help them cast spells and stir potions. And along the way, they’ll discover secret powers that help them face their greatest fears.
Chapter 2. Adventures in Wonderland
Alice's adventures in Wonderland teach kids to explore, and progress, through strange encounters and unfamiliar surroundings. Down the rabbit hole they go.
These Alice in Wonderland costumes will help kids develop their sense of curiosity and pioneering spirit even further.
Chapter 3. Roald Dahl & his fantastic friends
Roald Dahl does more than teach kids wonderful words like fizzwiggler, squizzle and scrumdiddlyumptious. He shows that when children are good and kind, despite being young, they can triumph over wickedness and evil. Isn’t that a splendiferous thing to be found in a book?
Dahl's charming character's, from Matilda to The BFG, give you a collection of Roald Dahl costumes to select from.
Chapter 4. Grandpas & Gangstas with David Walliams
Teachers are calling David Walliams the new Roald Dahl. Why? With books like Gangsta Granny, Demon Dentist, and Grandpa’s Great Escape, clearly he’s hilarious.
And like Roald Dahl, he teaches more profound lessons. He wrote, “A bully can only make you feel bad about yourself if you let them.” That definitely sounds like a secret power for kids.
This David Walliams costume collection will help kids connect with all of the secret powers found in his books.
Chapter 5. A fairy tale ending
Mums and dads share the fairy tales they grew up reading with their kids. It’s the same with grandparents. Fairy tales like Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, and Goldilocks connect generations. Kids, parents, and even grandparents are sure to be inspired by these fairy tale costumes.
The superpower of the right costume
If reading is a secret power for kids, then costumes are a superpower. With the right costume, a book doesn’t finish on the final page. The right costume ignites kids’ imaginations and brings a character to life.
Harry Potter costumes won’t help kids transform teacups into a kitten. But they will help them become braver. That’s the superpower of the right costume.
With the right Book Week costume everyone lived happily ever after
Want a costume from one of the books or authors mentioned above? They’re waiting at Blossom Costumes—ready to be brought to life. Or you can discover other popular characters from Horrible Histories, In The Wild, Dr. Seuss, and many more books.
