Wonderful characters from a diverse array of books leaped off the pages into the classrooms at Ballydesmond National School last Friday as children and staff celebrated World Book Day in style.
"We have been celebrating World Book Day in our school for many years. The children love it. It's a break from the routine of work and gives them the opportunity to foster a love of reading and books," teacher Ella O'Sullivan told The Corkman.
"The children had a wonderful time, we had everyone from Captain Underpants to Harry Potter and from cowboys to unicorns enrolling for the one day event. It is lovely to see the children get such enjoyment from books and reading," Ella said.
