It's said that reading is a dying art, so the Children's Book Council of Australia's annual Book Week initiative is a great way to keep some of the magic of literature alive for children - and grown-ups!

At Costume One, we've got a fantastic selection of classic and contemporary characters and Book Week costumes, as well as iconic themes, like pirate and medieval, which can easily be used for a Book Week costume. You can even take a look through our masks, wigs, accessories and makeup for ideas on starting or finishing a homemade outfit, or personalising one of ours.

Where's Wally, Winnie the Pooh, Alice in Wonderland and Dr Seuss Book Week costumes are all here, as well as fairytale characters from the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson. We even have comic book characters! And the young at heart will appreciate our selection of matched ensemble Book Week costumes, meaning you too can experience the joy of reading while dressing up with your little bookworm.

Costume One delivers across Australia, so you can browse and order online and collect your Book Week costume at your front door!
