With World Book Day fast approaching, parents are desperately seeking book character ideas for 5-7yrs in Richmond so we’ve decided to help you out with a few of the best!
Animal Characters
Many of our most-beloved children’s books include animals as the main character so Mog the Cat, Zog or 101 Dalmatians are popular choices for dress up days. You may be able to spend less or at least purchase something with further use, as many shops sell animal onesies which you can reuse as pyjamas once the event has passed.
School-based Characters
Several best-selling children’s books are set in schools which presents a particularly easy option for busy or less creative parents. With a variety of characters to choose from- Matilda, Harry Potter and the Worst Witch to name but a few, you can easily add a few accessories to make your character stand out. Having been voted as a number-one choice at Dramacube, we know that Matilda continues to be one of Roald Dahl’s most popular characters as it is loved by both our 5-7yrs Mini Musicals Group and our 8-12yrs who are currently rehearsing the stage show.
Diversity is slowly gathering momentum on our book shelves, so if your child wishes to celebrate our beautifully diverse country or choose a character which best represents them, you have some fantastic characters to choose from. Rocket from Look Up, Greta Thunberg from the Big Dreams range, or Asiya from The Proudest Blue, will be both contemporary and original.
