Q&A: need a costume for world book day. can you help?

Question by Alocin: need a costume for world book day. can you help?
World book day is coming up and the kids have been asked to go dressed up as a character from a book.
I have 2 boys and 2 girls and they don’t want to go as something that’s going to be really popular.
Costumes we have used/made in the past include;
captain underpants
horrid henry
the great spaghetti suit (can’t remember the guy’s name)
the beanstalk
Rapunzel (bet that’s common this year)
Pippi longstocking
Miss Polly (nursery rhymes count)
Dorothy

We always try to make our own costumes so nothing extravagant please, unless you can tell me how to go about making it! lol
Thanks in advance!
the girls are 4 and 6 and the boys are 10 and 5.
