Many children dress up as their favorite book characters and take part in fun activities, like storytelling competitions and book swaps. Lots of libraries, writers, publishers(出版商) and booksellers also take part in World Book Day.
It is important for children to enjoy what they read. Reading helps children to learn because it improves their understanding and problem-solving skills.
