IT was a highly colourful day when everyone at Yeoford Primary School took the chance to dress up as their favourite book character.

Surprisingly there were few duplicates apart from Snow White, Iron Man and two dressed as Alice in Wonderland.

This was all for World Book Day, celebrated at Yeoford with the support of Crediton Community Bookshop who took their special World Book Day fair to the school, featuring their Top 20 books.

Each class had a session with staff from the bookshop who introduced them to new authors and titles and read extracts from the books.
