Children at a Merseyside primary school were thrilled to get a surprise visit from Everton star Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall for World Book Day.
The midfielder arrived at Much Woolton Catholic Primary School in Liverpool on Thursday as a special guest at the school's "secret reader sessions" - where pupils listen to a story being read before asking questions to guess the reader's identity.
The footballer read an extract from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to a blindfolded group of pupils aged 7-11, before the blindfolds came off and the pupils began cheering in excitement.
"The kids were excited and it's a nice feeling when they see you and react like that," Dewsbury-Hall said.
