DON'T panic but there's now less than one month to go until World Book Day. 

The popular day celebrating stories and reading sees children and teachers dress up as their favourite book character for the day. 

This year it takes place on March 1 and if you're stuck for a bit of inspiration finding the perfect costume, Asda and Tesco has a range to save the day. 

(With plenty of options for adults who want to get involved too.)

Here's some of our favourites...
