What is Wild Book Day about?

It’s Wild Book Day, and the characters have escaped from their books! Dragons soar in rockets, witches and pirates go treasure hunting, and familiar heroes from classic stories join the chaos. But whenever anyone looks, the characters freeze and hide. As soon as the readers turn away, the pages burst into life again. Packed with playful surprises, lively rhymes and recognisable storybook characters, this joyful picture book celebrates imagination, storytelling and the wonderful worlds waiting inside every book.
