World Book Day 2026 books

World Book Day is a charity funded by publishers & booksellers in the UK & Ireland with a mission is to give every child and young person a book of their own. Each year, they work with publishers to create a selection of £1/€1.50 books that appeal to a wide range of children. These are available for free, in exchange for a World Book Day book token which are usually distributed via schools.

At Coram Beanstalk we want every child to get the very most out of the book they choose and we’re delighted that the team at World Book Day have asked us once again to contribute our very special Beanstalk activities to the sheets which accompany each book.

With our help, even children who aren’t very keen on books will have a reason to want to open theirs!
