Celebrate World Book Day - 3 March 2011

Nurseries and pre-schools can win Miffy books for their setting while raising money for Book Aid International on World Book Day (3 March).
To take part, children must create their own picture of Miffy at home, downloaded from the Book Aid website, ready to bring to their setting along with a £1 donation on World Book Day.
The more money settings raise for the charity, the more books they receive. For every £2 raised, a book will be sent to children living in Africa.
For inspiration for fun activities the Nurture Store website, run by outstanding childminder Cathy James, has loads of great last-minute ideas to celebrate your favourite books.
Book supplier Tidy Books is also running a competition, asking people to nominate either their favourite book as a child or a book that changed their life, to enter the free prize draw to win a Tidy Books bookcase. For every four nominations on its Facebook page, Tidy Books will donate a book to the charity. Visit http://www.tidy-books.com/special-offer/
