Book Week Costumes
Once upon a time, there was a magical little shop on the Mornington Peninsula filled with book week costumes for kids and teachers who visited from far and wide! From Frankston to Melbourne and beyond. Families came to explore, imagine, and find the perfect costume to bring their favourite stories to life… they all left smiling and lived happily ever after.
