Great costumes have graced the schools, nurseries and libraries of South Tyneside on World Book Day in recent years.
The annual day bring together pupils and staff as they dress up as their favourite book characters from timeless classic to modern day books.
See our gallery of pupils and staff dressing up for World Book Day in years gone by.
