World Book Day

World Book Day is the biggest celebration of its kind, anywhere. Millions and millions of book vouchers given out, great free books for kids, excitement everywhere (on blogs, in newspapers, on TV and in schools, libraries and, of course, bookshops), people coming together (including lots and lots of young readers) in a big, loud, happy celebration of reading. And we really do want you to help make this March 1st the best World Book Day ever.

This is our website and we think it’s swell, but this isn’t World Book Day’s only home on the web, oh no! In fact you can find us on Twitter, too! And Facebook! And on YouTube! And you should, because we’d like to tweet with you, and book your face and then show it videos and all sorts of exciting things!

Websites are great aren’t they? Especially websites about things like reading. And celebrations of reading. And great big celebrations of reading with millions and millions of vouchers for free books going out to kids. But you know what’s even better than websites about great big celebrations of reading with millions of millions of vouchers for free books going out to kids? Reading. So once you’ve finished on this website why not go and read a book, even if only for a little while.
