We will soon be counting down to World Book Day as it’s not long now on 2nd March.

The theme this year is The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C S Lewis which links to our library. Most of you will know a little about the story and about Narnia even if you have not yet read the book itself as last year on your first visits to the new library you had extracts from the story read to you before climbing through the wardrobe. Some of you (some children) will be too young and are yet to discover this story or may have forgotten why it is that you climb in through the wardrobe every week to arrive in the library.

For those that are not familiar with the story it begins with four children playing hide and seek. One of the children decides to hide in an old wardrobe but unbeknown to her that the wardrobe hid a secret – the entrance into the magical land of Narnia.

Over the coming weeks keep visiting the blog as costume ideas will be added just in case you are short of ideas.

There are many characters to choose from such as one of the children: Peter, Susan, Edmund, Lucy or perhaps Mr Tumnus, the White Witch, a woodland animal or even Aslan.

We will also be talking about it during our weekly library sessions.
