Loki was our wee lad's choice today: we've made him more complex costumes before, but were *very* glad that he requested such a simple one this year - much appreciated!
We swapped out the whoopee cushion for a "Foolish mortals!" cardboard speech bubble on a stick :)
Here to help! The speech bubble is a great idea!

A small girl wearing a rabbit costume and blue coat carries a book as she walks to school. Her mother (head out of shot) wheels her baby brother along in a pushchair. The baby says "Peter Rabbit may be the 'Hero' of the story, but surely the obedient, widowed Mrs Rabbit is a more effective symbol of the oppression inherent within Mister McGregor's regime" The girls looks furious and snaps "Mum!! He's critiquing my world book day costume from a marxist perspective again!"
A cartoon reminder that tomorrow is World Book Day (In the UK anyway). Originally for the @theguardian.com
