The City of Wolverhampton Council's libraries are holding competitions for children aged 5 to 7 and 8 to 12, with £10 book vouchers up for grabs - all children have to do is pick their favourite book, and say why they like it so much. There is also a word search challenge to complete.
Entry forms are available from local libraries now, and the closing date for entries is Monday 5 March.
Councillor John Reynolds, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for City Economy, said: "Getting into reading at an early age can instil a life long love of books.
"We're looking forward to hearing from young readers about the books they love - and why they love them - as we mark World Book Day."
