This year schools won’t be opening their doors but World Book Day will still be encouraged and more important than ever as a way of uniting children who have been out of the classroom and away from their classmates for so long.

Each year World Book Day just creeps up on us before we know it and there's always a frantic search for a costume in the morning.

Well, we've got you covered with some winning costumes that you can grab at the local supermarket and they won't cost too much either.

Lidl

Available for children age 4-10, the costumes are available for just £8.99 a piece.

The costumes on offer include DC Comics Batman, Harry Potter with his signature round glasses and wand and even a Mary Poppins and Rapunzel outfit.

Sainsbury's

The supermarket has a whole section on its website dedicated to World Book Day.

There's a whole host of costumes to choose from and parents can shop by the author too.
