Book Week Costumes
Once upon a time, there was a magical little shop on the Mornington Peninsula, filled with Book Week costumes for teachers who wanted to make storytime unforgettable. From Frankston to Melbourne and beyond, educators came to find the perfect costume to bring their favourite characters to life, all to inspire their students and create a little classroom magic. Their students lit up with wonder… and everyone remembered that Book Week feeling forever.
