Book Week 2026 Costume Ideas for Boys
Book Week 2026 runs from 22–28 August in Australia, with the CBCA theme Symphony of Stories. Most schools hold their parade or dress-up day during this week, though the exact date can vary by school. Ordering early leaves time to try the costume on, plan hair and accessories, and swap sizes if needed.

Popular Book Week costume ideas for boys include Where’s Wally, wizard robes, pirates, superheroes, storybook animals, dinosaurs, explorers and classic literary characters. A one-piece suit or jumpsuit-style costume with a single prop is comfortable for a full school day and easy to spot in a parade.
