It's truly one of a kind. rikardh | Jul 3, 2009 |   Camilla was very concerned about what everyone thought of her. She wanted to fit in so she pretended she hated lima beans just like her friends but really she loved them. She was getting ready for her first day of school and couldn't decide what to wear because she wanted to impress. She all of the sudden came down with the case of the stripes. The doctors couldn't find a cure, in fact the cures were making them worse. Once Camilla learns how to be comfortable with who she is she is cured with lima beans. amycampbell | May 29, 2009 | David Shannon has once again struck gold with "A Bad Case of Stripes," adding to his canon of unlikely heroes who in the end learn a lesson about being themselves. A great read aloud for children struggling with the contradictory position of individual and group identity. It's also great for parents - unspoken participants in that struggle! (  )justinscott66 | Apr 26, 2009 | This is a great book about a girl who is worried about what other people think about her. Because Camilla Cream won't eat lima beans because her friends don't like them; she turns into different images all over her skin. Once she eats lima beans again everything goes back to normal. This is a great book for vocabulary. ( )psjones | Apr 13, 2009 | I thought this book was a wonderful book to read to students. The book had great illustration in it. The illustration were very colorful. THis book can be used for all grades but the lesson that goes with it varries.This book is a great way to get students to think in a creative way. You can make a great lesson out of this book. The lesson would be called Prescription for stripes. The students can be create and make up a prescription in parapgraph form of what they think they should have camelia do to feel better. jennjenn2016 | Apr 9, 2009 | 0.044 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
