What a fantastic book to base this years world book day costume on but Roald Dahls 'Charlie And The Chocolate Factory'. The good thing with every character in this book is that they have their own background story. From Charlie himself, a young boy who's luck changes for the better too Augustus Gloop, the biggest chocoholic!

This fantastic costume comes with the white top and jacket, blue trousers and to top it all off, it has a detachable golden ticket so you can really rub it in that you are the winner!
