While we would never condone cheating, we’re quite happy to indulge in a little out-of-the-box thinking. Parents in need of easy Book Week costumes should remember that many of your children’s favourite TV characters have books, too, and so technically, are book characters!

Popular Book Week Authors
The world is big, but it’s nothing compared to a literary universe packed with kings and queens, detectives and gangsters, mythological beasts and zoological anomalies. Blossom Costumes stocks the costumes, makeup and accessories needed to transform into world-famous literary characters from practically any genre.
If you’re after recognisable and easy book character costumes, you can always celebrate Australian literature by dressing up as an animal from Possum Magic or the dingo from Wombat Stew for Book Week — all it would take is some ears and face paint and perhaps a bushy tail. You could even bring your own pail to make your own gooey, chewy stew.
Best Book Week costume ideas for 2023
A plain blue dress isn’t a great Alice costume. Old red t-shirts aren’t fun Thing 1 and Thing 2 costumes. A rumpled white t-shirt won’t turn you into the Wimpy Kid.
