I came dressed as Fern today because I love the story.  Today I have a black t-shirt, a red sweater, and jeans.  My hair is in pigtails with red ribbon tied around.  I also brought in a little pink pig. I picked this character because this is one of my favorite books and it was easy to dress up as. Fern is 8 years old and has a pig named Wilbur.  She has an older brother named Avery. That is why I dressed up as Fern. -Shaylin   I came dressed as a Rock Star Fairy.  I love her so much and the book she is from is Music Fairy and the number of the book is #4. She is my favorite character.  She has pink leggings, a tank top, and a guitar. That's why I dressed up as a Rock Star Fairy. -Kamryn   I came dressed as a fairy from Tinkerbell.  She is about 10 centimetres tall.  She controls the amount of snow, rain, sun, wind, if there is a tornado, an earthquake, or a hurricane. I came as the fiary from Tinkerbell because she can control the weather.  She can change the weather to sunny on her birthday and rainy when she's down. -Alexis   I dressed up like Tina from Smelly Socks by Robert Munch.  I like socks a lot and like the word smelly so my favorite character is Rina in the book Smelly Socks.  Also, I like the pictures in the book Smelly Socks. -Katie   Nikki Maxwell is my favorite book character from Dork Diaries 1, 2, 3, 4 because she has a lot of drama at her school and at her house and whenever something good happens then something bad happens.  Once you read the book you'll see that Nikki is just an ordinary girl, but you also see that you just want to be in the book with her, because the book is really funny. -Manuela   Today is Come in Character Day.  I came in as a Brat.  I'm wearing a grey shirt with a white tank top under it and black pants that say xoxo, fashion, love, and they have pictures of diamonds, rings, bows, and hearts.  My hair has pig tails in it with white and green scrunchies in it.  I have slippers that are pink, orange, blue, and green. Why I came dressed as a Brat?  I came dressed as a Brat because I used to love Bratz.  My room used to be full of it and I knew that no one else would dress like a Brat and that's why I came as a Brat. -Tabitha   My character is MX Rider.  His bike number is 4.  His sponsor is Monster Energy.  I read about him in an extreme sports book.  He is my favorite MX rider.  He won four championships.  The next race is on my birthday, March 24.  I hope he wins. -Arthur   Why I dressed as Fern in Charlotte's Web: As I was watching my dog (he lies like a pig) he looked like a pig as I watched him then I thought why don't I be Fern.  The reason I am Fern is because she has a BIG responsibility just like me.  She has the most confidence ever.  She is just like me.  Fern is 8 when she caught her dad with an axe going to kill a runt that was born in a litter last night, but her father said she could keep it after she started crying.  I am Fern today and I am glad I picked this character. -Brydie   My favorite character is Geranimo Stilton because he's always saying "Slimy Swiss balls" or something like that.  He's a talking mouse, funny, has a suit, and is a newspaper mouse. -David
