The snow might have caused major disruption across the UK, but that hasn't stopped these famous children from embracing World Book Day! In celebration of the 1 March event, proud celebrities have been taking to Instagram to share sweet snapshots of their youngsters in fancy dress – starting with Coleen Rooney, who shared a photo on Twitter showing her three eldest boys all kitted out in their costumes. The 31-year-old, who welcomed fourth son Cass on 15 February, posted a collage photo showing Kai, eight, and Klay, four, in matching BFG attire, complete with big ears and even stick-on eyebrows. Little brother Kit, two, meanwhile, made for an adorable Peter Pan as he posed for a picture in the family home.
