It's World Book Day today - and kids across the UK are dressing up in the most amazing costumes.

We asked News Shopper readers to send us in pictures of what their children are going to school dressed as today, and all the responses were great.

With anything from Paddington Bear, to the Hungry Caterpillar and a Gangsta Granny - we were absolutely AMAZED.

So, here we've rounded up the costumes that made us say WOW the most.
