    Coram Beanstalk and Very.co.uk World Book Day competition to win bundles of arts & crafts materials from Crayola!

    Coram Beanstalk and Very.co.uk are asking children to cheer up their neighbours on World Book Day!  Rather than asking them to dress up as their favourite character on March 4th, as they might have done at school or nursery, we're asking children to dress up the windows of their house or flat instead, by drawing pictures of their favourite book characters, entering them into our World Book Day competition and then displaying them in their windows.
