halloween challenge

I'm throwing out a plea for everyone to dress up for Halloween this year.  What do you think about dressing up as a literary character, a famous person, or a favorite TV/movie character?  We could wear "Guess Who" badges and give out candy to winning guesses.  We could also take that opportunity to tell people about the book/movie in our collection that inspired our costume.  What are your thoughts?
Book & Movie Costume Ideas 
  • The Princess Bride characters
  • Paddington Bear
  • Anne of Green Gables
  • The Paper Bag Princess
  • Dr. Suess characters like Blue Fish, Gertrude McFuzz, Horton, the Grinch, etc.
  • Curious George
  • Madeline
  • Angelica Mouse
  • Where’s Waldo
  • Sherlock Holmes characters
  • Man in the Yellow Hat
  • Nancy Drew
  • Huckleberry Finn / Tom Sawyer
  • Captain Underpants
  • Ramona Quimby
  • Wizard of Oz characters
  • Amelia Bedelia
  • Laura Ingalls Wilder
  • Harry Potter characters
  • Pippi Longstocking
  • Mary Poppins characters
  • Marie Antoinette
  • Charlie and the Chocolate Factory book characters
  • Hobbit book characters
  • Hunger Games characters (if you're not already sick to death of it)
Or you could get really creative and dress up as your favorite book cover…

A team who plays together stays together...
