The BFG and those enormous ears of his can hear all the whisperings of the world.

MOSTLY E: MR FOX
Just like everyone’s favourite fox, you are quite fantastic!
Show everyone just how fantastic you are by creating an absolutely amazing costume this World Book Day, inspired by your favourite book character. Top tip: All it takes is a waistcoat, necktie, some ears and a bushy tail, and you’re Mr Fox himself!
