It's World Book Day and once again Manchester's parents have done their children proud.
We asked readers to send in their creations for the big event and hundreds of you obliged.
Children have been dressing as their favourite book characters for playgroups, nurseries and schools and we've seen some fabulous outfits today.
From Harry Potters and Hermiones to Gangsta Grannies and Peter Pans, we've seen them all.
One character we've seen a lot of this year is Cruella de Vil and the children at staff at Kidzrus nursery in Monton - who dressed as dalmatians - had a special visit from the villain herself.
As well as those scary Cruellas, we've had lots of angry looking Miss Trunchbulls and some very cheerful cats in their hats.
Of course we have to give a shout out to those homemade creations, like Miley, from Wythenshawe, (main image) as the Lion in Dear Zoo and this rather adorable Rainbow Fish, otherwise known as two-year-old Florence.
We've already shared a
gallery of images
earlier today and here are two more for you to see.
Unfortunately we can't share each and every photo, but the Manchester Evening News is producing a World Book Day photo special that your child can still be included in.
Upload your photos using the form here and they will have a starring role in our supplement, which is sponsored by Focus Lane Book Company and will be published on Saturday, March 12.
