Fancy Dress Outfitters Experience Increased Enquiries In The Lead Up To World Book Day
With World Book Day fast approaching, parents are enquiring with different fancy dress retailers after different fancy dress costumes for their children to wear to school on the 7th of March this year.
Online, January 22, 2013 (Newswire.com) - World Book Day is a celebration of writing, authors, illustrators and reading in general. Authors of children's books travel around the country speaking at events held for the occasion, and readers of all ages are encouraged to seek them out and hear what they have to say about books. Whilst the event is mainly aimed at children, adults are also welcome to World Book Day celebrations, as the day is all about celebrating everything to do with books.
On World Book Day, schools encourage their students to dress up as characters from their favourite books and come in, creating classes full of various different characters. Parents have already begun making enquiries into fancy dress costumes for their children, trying to find the right one with plenty of time to spare, should something go wrong with the order. More and more schools are involving their students in World Book Day celebrations, as books are struggling to compete with the entertainment on offer from computers and videogames.
Fancy Dress Outfitters has received an increased number of enquiries in the lead up to World Book Day already, a Customer Service Representative commented, "World Book Day is a huge event for children, and the next big one for their age range on the fancy dress calendar. In the past parents have purchased Victorian outfits for their children to wear as characters from favourite children's books. Now however there is more competition for what children want to wear, as many of them want to be as individual as possible, wearing large costumes with masks that are popular as television shows as well like Horrid Henry."
World Book Day has always been a big occasion for schools, particularly primary schools. The reason for this is reading needs to be encouraged as much as possible, or children will end up sitting on computers for most of their day, ignorant of the fantastic stories waiting for them in books.
Fancy Dress Outfitters is an online retailer of fancy dress products. They have a wide range of costumes available for anyone to purchase, with their World Book Day range being one of the largest available for parents to browse through online.
