Your World Book Day celebrations ranged from the Titanic to the Very Hungry Caterpillar, with pyjama parties, masked readers and creative writing at schools across the north east.

Parents and schools got creative to capture the joy of books this World Book Day.

In Aberdeenshire, pupils of Uryside Primary School got off to a bouncing start, with a great selection of fun costumes.

Who is the Monymusk masked reader?

In nearby Monymusk, the wider community got involved, with a fun ‘masked reader’ challenge. Could the pupils guess who was reading out a passage of their favourite book?

Schools across Highland joined in, as did the 40 libraries run by High Life Highland. They put together World Book Day-themed Bookbug sessions, book tokens that can be swapped for special books, competitions, fancy dress, book sales and displays.
