        Books come to life in Australia once a year, when students dress up as their favorite characters and come to school. They are taking part in Book Week. Each year in August, schools and public libraries across Australia spend a week celebrating(庆祝)this big activity. Book Week is run by the Children's Book Council of Australia.

        And the best part? Everyone dresses up in costumes(服装), even the teachers. Many dress as characters from books or films, like Willie Wonka, Snow White, Robin Hood, Peter Pan and even C-3P0 from Star Wars.  "He wanted to go as something from Star Wars," Veronica Sagredo said of her son Marlon. "Last year he went as a gladiato(r  角斗士), because he likes history books." Others dress up as famous Australian heroes(英雄)to celebrate the country's history. "It is a fun way to focus on reading and the children really enjoy it, whether they like reading or not," an Australian junior school teacher Nicole Grima said.

        Some students do a lot to have the best costume. And teachers plan activities or make competitions to show how important it is to read. Children's Book Council chairperson, professor Margot Hillel, said books would always be loved. "Hugging(拥抱)it, smelling it, turning the pages and sharing it with an adult(成人)," she told the Daily Telegraph.

        Each year, there are awards for the best Australian children's book. This year was the 70th year of the awards.
