Relation To Books A Bad Case of Stripes
My daughter is in 1st grade (age 6) and is TERRIFIED of this book. I realize it is very, very popular but my daughter has a great imagination and now she is very scared of eating orange, green, and blue foods. She pretty much only eats pink/red and white foods now.We got this book as a gift from my father when she was 4 and it scared her. We asked her preschool class to put it behind other books so she wouldn't see it in the book area (if she did see it, she wouldn't go near it). In kindergarten we warned her teacher and it wasn't an issue. Now in 1st grade I have warned her new teacher however I know it is in the classroom and she is scared of it. Today the principal read the first half during lunchtime and she covered her ears but could not block the sound. She is dreading lunchtime tomorrow when he will finish the book (and go through the part where the girl is all stripes).
(She ended up eating lunch in the school office that day so she wouldn't have to hear the story.)
SO if you have a sensitive child like I do, I urge some caution with this book. Never mind the author's intended message, some kids will be freaked out by the possibility of foods causing them to change colors and may suffer anxiety for months, or years, to come.

This is a story about peer pressure and not having enough confidence in yourself to stand up for something you like or want. This book has beautiful art drawings in it and a great way of telling the story. Nice colors and funny characters.This book is in the 1001 Children's Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up challenge I am doing.A Bad Case of Stripes is a fantasy fiction piece that has remained one of the most memorable children's books that I have read. Although this book first became popular when I was in Elementary school, it still remains a piece of literature that is still read in classrooms today. I love how creative the storyline is and the illustrations are nothing short of amazing! While this book is silly and fun and full of "fantasy," it also contains real meaning that we can all relate to. For example, the
Maybe you need to be a child or a parent to appreciate this book. Maybe I didn't appreciate it because I am neither. Then again, maybe I just didn't appreciate it, despite the love it seems to get from so many others (seriously, I was a little surprised to see all the five-star ratings), because it's not my cup of tea (or bowl of lima beans), and that's okay, too.Moving on, this is the story of a young girl, Camilla, who loves lima beans but pretends she doesn't so the other kids don't make fun
I read this to my second graders and they absolutely loved it!
Shannon's illustrations are BEAUTIFUL. Just look at that detail and colors!Also, the message is simple but powerful: stay true to yourself. If I ever had a motto, that probably would be it, haha!Interestingly, Camilla Cream's stripes on the front cover (as well as the six colors on the back cover) look a lot like an LGBT pride flag (though the order of the colors is slightly different), which adds a significant layer of meaning to the book's message :)
Camilla Cream is so frustrated on the first day of school. She feels that she has many people to impress and feels that she has to look her best. In the mid of all this stress, she breaks into a bad case of the stripes. She is covered from head to toe in stripes and does not understand the reason why. The doctors check her put they cannot think what may have caused the stripes. She goes to school and is considered a distraction to the rest of the class and is asked to stay home. So many people
Very thoughtful book .... I was very worried about comilia .... But the end was the best part of the book... Very colorful and art is very beautiful
