Don't seem like book characters
Ever heard of comic books? As in the things that came before the movies?
Only Elsa and Anna don't really fit the bill. But then we do have a few frozen books too…
Look at Mr. Book over here
If you have kids, you already know this, but "dress as a book character" always ends up with mostly movie characters.
Harry Potter is the main exception to the rule (it was at least a book first).
The problem is:
kids read lots of actual Disney/Marvel/Videogame books, making it technically correct,
A lot of book character costumes are harder to get (or make) costumes for,
They are harder to recognise, unless it's a famous picture book, with a very iconic character look
No other kid is going to recognise your kid's Tom Sawyer costume anyway, and avid readers (like my kids) still want to dress as Spider-Man, from their Spider-Man books, so it's not the great tragedy I pretend it is when I whinge to other bookish parents.
Yeah. My kid loves Nancy Drew and Billie b Brown books. But doesn't like the idea of dressing as them, as it's kind of a boring dress up…
So we inevitably go for Disney characters that are more fun dress ups. We do have multiple Disney books that we read, but they don't really fit the gatekeeper definition of book week characters…
Even classic kids books like famous 5 and secret 7. The characters are just kids. They're not exciting dress up ideas.
Children’s Book Week Dress Up costumes feature our favourite TV characters…
A mis-alignment?
How sad that only one of the costumes comes from an actual book.
Comics don't count, not that the kids have even read that much :(Comics don't count
Why not. Do comics not have words that children read?
So do cigarette packets and sports cards. Not the same as reading a book.
Obviously not. They aren't books by any definition of a book. Comic books are.
They have characters, stories in a bound group of pages. They just have more pictures than most.What's your definition of a book then? No pictures? Guess most of my kid's books don't qualify then, as they're full of pictures… Try get a <6yo to be interested in a book with no pictures…
A book is a medium for recording information in the form of writing or images, typically composed of many pages

They sound like books to me.
Buy the kids some books instead?
Do you remember reading those fantastic novels about Spiderman? A truly epic tale told over seven volumes. Thank goodness they eventually brought this character to life on the small- and then big- screens, and in graphic novel format so we could finally visualise it!
Excellent post
