A well loved book about a girl who doesn't want to let people know that she loves... Lima beans! She is so scared of what others will say that she pretends she doesn't like them. Once she starts to be untruthful, unexplainable things begin to happen to her. She has stripes all over her body and even looks like a pill! This book is an amazing read aloud about being true to yourself, even if that's different or 'weird.' I'd encourage this read aloud to grades K-3. This book lends itself to great conversations about things that make us unique, and it can also be tied into art, writing (favorites), or math (patterns)! ( )

about a girl who doesnt want to eat lima beans, and because of it she turns to any pattern or color that there is. I like this and would just use it as a on the book shelf book in my classroom.

Great story to show kids that it is ok to have your own likes and dislikes, not to be a follower. Camilla Cream loves lima beans but she doesn't eat them, because her friends hate them. She wants to fit in and this leads to her getting a bad case of stripes. ( )
