It's World Book Day
The independent initiative aims to foster a life-long love of books and reading among youngsters around the world.
Students in many schools on the Island will be dressing up as characters from their favourite books.
Head of English at Ramsey Grammar School, Julie Owen, says the school has planned a "readathon" - albeit it will take place on Friday.
She explains just what it will entail:
Sailings cancelled due to predicted gales
Yellow weather warning for Thursday
Have your say on the future of the Island's plantations
DEFA launches consultation on its plans to move towards mixed, multi-age woodlands
Warning for 'disorderly' parents attending schools
Police tell people to follow 'appropriate channels' with concerns
Yellow weather warning for gale force winds
Travel disruption likely
