A Bad Case of Stripes (Portuguese)

Escrito por David Shannon

Narrado por Laura Termini

Camilla Cream loves lima beans, but she never eats them. Why? Because the other kids in her school don't like them. Camilla Cream is very worried about what other people think about her, but at the very moment she most wants to fit in, she becomes completely covered in colorful stripes! Worse yet, she seems to change colors to match whatever is happening around her. When the class says the Pledge of Allegiance, she turns red, white, and blue! Instead of blending in, she's standing out.

Specialists are called but the situation goes from bad to worse. Isn't there anyone who can help Camilla remember what it means to be herself?

Sure to invite discussion, this is an engaging book that imaginatively explores the risks of trying to be like everyone else.

Please note: this audiobook is in Portuguese.

[mayravasquez-1 · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

this book is a classic children love. I can use this book in my classroom by reading aloud and having a discussion of what they would do if they got the stripes. This book is about a girl who eats lima beans and suddenly her skin changes to colors and patters, she is made fun of and goes to the doctor to find a cure. The cure was eating lima beans.

This book follows the misadventure of a girl who wants to fit it- even if it means pretending to hate her beloved Lima beans. She turns colors and shapes until she is so different that she can't fit in and learns to love who she is.

Camila is embarrassed to share she enjoys Lima beans! until she can find courage to be herself she's got to deal with a bad case of stripes!

[engpunk77 · Nota: 4 de 5 estrelas]

Excellent method for talking to children about conformity! Perfect for my 9-year-old, who has just begun to ask me not to do various things outside in the neighborhood, as the "cool kids" might see. Ugh!

[kelsly93 · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

This book encourages children to eat their vegetables and not give into what others are doing. There is no reason to care what others think of you.

[cwierz2 · Nota: 4 de 5 estrelas]

A Bad Case of Stripes is a story about how peer pressure truly can affect someones life. This book has one of the most creative illustrations I have ever seen. David Shannon makes each character so colorful and uses colors on Camilla to show her transformations throughout the story. The story teaches the readers that no matter what other people say or think about you, to be true to yourself. I think the language and the meaning of the story is more appropriate for older children.

[kitbraddick · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

Camilla turns all kinds of patterns because she is afraid to be herself and embrace what she likes, lima beans. This book reveals that trying to please others causes nothing but problems, or in this case, colors. A funny and outrageous way to teach students to accept themselves and others, also to celebrate individual differences instead of passing judgement. After all, its hard work to not be yourself.

[analley-2 · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

Camilla is young girl who loves Lima beans but will not eat them all because her fellow classmates do not like them. Camilla is always worried about what other people think about her. Camilla reminds me a lot of myself when I was in grammar school. I always worried about what my classmates thought of me.

Summary:A young girl, Camilla, wakes up one day and discovers that she is cover in colorful stripes. The book follows a couple days in her life where she discovers the stripes change colors and shapes and doctors are baffled. It all boils down to eating vegetables and being yourself. Personal Reaction:I remember this book from when I was younger. I liked the presentation of the material and most certainly remember hating Lima Beans with a passion because of their evil power. Class Extension:Maybe talk to the kids about eating the vegetables, or how teasing one another is not nice or fun.

[brennanako · Nota: 4 de 5 estrelas]

Camilla loved lima beans but did not eat them because no one else did. Before school looked in mirror and looked like a rainbow. Went to school and everybody laughed at her. Cured when she finally ate lima beans again.

[egiddi1 · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

I liked this book for the illustrations. The illustrations were detailed and engaging to the reader. For example when Camilla Cream becomes the American Flag and changes all sorts of colors. I also liked this story for the writing. The storyline was engaging and fun to listen too, readers don't know what color Camilla will turn next. The big idea of the story is to stay true to yourself and not worry what others will think of you.

[mirandawright · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

I love this book for the vivid illustrations and colors. It really captured my attention as a child and remains one of my favorite books. I love the message the book sends, to be yourself and learn that conforming to others likes or dislikes isn't always the best thing for you.

[jsylve-1 · Nota: 3 de 5 estrelas]

This poor girl had trouble picking out something to wear for her first day of school, and this took her on journey she'll always remember. She wore strips, poka dots, plade and everything that the people around her said. This book was very drawn out was sort of confusing.

[andymcclellan_93 · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

This book makes it okay for students to be themselves. That's the power in this book and the brilliance of it. It is a lovely book full of humor and ups and downs.

[spinea1 · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

This book has a lot of opportunities for a reader to read with expression. This book contains a really big problem and has a great solution.I could also, use this book as a mentor text to show how David Shannon uses time passing transitions.

Summary: Camilla is a young girl who loves lima beans but is afraid that her friends will make fun of her if they find out. The first day of school is tomorrow and she is trying to decide what to wear to impress her friends. When she wakes up she is covered from head to toe in stripes like a rainbow. Doctors can't figure out what is wrong with her and every time someone says a different pattern at school, a portion of Camilla's skin turns to it. Specialists and experts looks at her and every thing they rule out like measles, virus, bacteria, she becomes them. Then she even becomes her room due to a lady telling her to become one with her room to relax Camilla. After she becomes all of these things with no cure an old lady declares that Camilla has a very bad case of STRIPES. She insists that Camilla wants to eat some lima beans, but Camilla denies that she likes them because she is afraid of being made fun of still. Then she can't take it anymore and eats the lima beans and everything turns back to normal. Now Camilla eats lima beans whenever she wants them. Personal Reaction: This story is a great example of how peer pressure turns bad and shows that we need to all be ourselves and not worry about what other people think.Classroom Extension Ideas: 1. I would ask my students to name something they really like, then ask how many people like the same thing.2. We would talk about how just because your friends don't like everything you like does not mean you don't have the right to like it.

 One thing that I liked about this story was the plot. In my opinion the whole story is very original and one of my favorite David Shannon stories. I also like this story because students can relate to Camilla Cream. Just like Camilla Cream, children just want to fit in with the other students. But in the end it doesn't matter what other people think it matters what you think of yourself. This story is a prime example of this lesson.

Review: In my opinion this is a great book for children to read or listen to. It is very relatable for children because it talks about how the little girl didn't eat lima beans. Most children don't like lima beans so they might be able to relate to that or many other events that happen in this book. Summary: The story starts with a little girl named Camilla who loved lima beans but never ate them because none of her friends like them. She starts getting ready for her first day of school, but she doesn't know what to wear. She was always worried about what people thought of her so she tried on so many outfits. When she didn't know what to wear she screamed and her mother ran up and screamed too. Camilla looked and she was covered in rainbow stripes. Camilla's mom put her in bed, told her she couldn't go to school, and called the doctor. The doctor said he had never seen anything like this before. At school the next day everyone was laughing at her and yelling designs at her so that her body would change into them. She was covered in polka dots, stars, checkers, and many other things. Camilla was not allowed to go to school anymore. After the doctors gave her many pills to try, her body turned into a pill! Everything that the doctors gave her added to weird appearance. The therapist told her to not think about it and melt into her room. All of a sudden she turned into her room. Her mouth was her bed and her face was on the walls. Finally a little woman gave Camilla some lima beans and she turned back to her normal self. Argument:

I had never read this book before but it was adorable. Lima beans is a good thing for children to relate to because many children do not like them. As a child I loved them! So as an adult I was able to relate to the book. In the classroom this could be a good resource for students. It could help them learn about people and their differences. Everyone could share stories about food they love and maybe others don't normally eat.

[cebellol · Nota: 2 de 5 estrelas]

Really enjoyed this when I was a kid, but it also weirded me out a bit too... never could quite put my finger on it.

[mariah21-1 · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

LOVE THIS BOOK. The pictures are beautiful, and the story is equally as touching and so much can be learned from it. The little girl in the story doesn't want to admit that she likes something everyone else hates. So she denies it and weird things start happening to her. Only when she is true to herself is when her life is returned back to normal.

[sarabeck-1 · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

I thought this was a wonderful book, for a variety of reasons. First, I thought the illustrations throughout the book were wonderful. Camilla is accentuated on each page through the illustrations; the colors used for her character are much more vibrant than the other characters and the background, too. Also, when the doctors, specialists, and the experts arrived to examine Camilla, the illustrations depicted the bewilderment felt among all the individuals. For example, the specialists had perplexed expressions while their glasses appeared so thick, one could not even see their eyes! I also enjoyed how believable Camilla Cream was; what happened to her was fictitious, but she was an extremely relatable character, which aids in the readers’ engagement. At the beginning of the book, she was preoccupied with fitting in, which many people can relate to. She gained her stripes by not eating her lima beans only because her friends did not like them, even though she loved them. The irony of the story is that the lima beans were her cure! By the end of the story, Camilla had accepted that she was not the same as everyone else, but she did not care. Thus, she would not encounter her crazy stripes again! There was even more irony in the story, which made me like it even more. Each time someone or something would try to cure Camilla, she would instantaneously turn into or show whatever the suggestion was. For example, when the specialists gave her all different types of medicine she turned into a giant pill. I thought that this sent a powerful message to the reader; by not showing her true colors, Camilla was plagued with stripes, stars, pictures, etc. all over her body. If Camilla showed who she truly was and revealed her true colors, she would not have a bad case of stripes! I really liked how the moral was not too overpowering, but it was definitely present. The main message of this book is do not be afraid to be who you truly are and do not worry extensively about what other people think.

[kryoung1-1 · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

A very imaginative story about a young girl who denies her favorite thing in order to fit in and be accepted by those around her. This results in her coming down with a "case of the stripes" which progresses throughout the story to extraordinary levels. In the end she learns that the most important thing is to be yourself and you shouldn't ever try to change who you are to fit in. I love the silly, unbelievable way that it is told and the important lesson that it teaches.

[avidrine-1 · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

This is by far my favorite book by Shannon. Not only do I love the illustrations, but I love the theme of the book. Never be afraid to be different. Never be afraid to be yourself. Growing up I loved to read, while others played outside. I had to remind myself that even though the other kids didn't like to do what I did, I shouldn't give it up just to fit in.

[caitlinsnead · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

After she refuses to eat her lima beans, Camilla finds herself covered with stripes. The stripes change into stars, polka dots, and other patterns. Camilla overcomes her "illness" when she learns to be herself.

[fjola-5 · Nota: 3 de 5 estrelas]

The illustrations are quite fun and colorful, but the story is a tad disturbing. Not for the sensitive. ;-)

[dukefan86 · Nota: 4 de 5 estrelas]

This story is pretty silly but very cute! The illustrations are fun, to boot! I think this story dramatizes how children might feel different, but all's well that ends well here. Hooray for lima beans!

[bekaht_4 · Nota: 4 de 5 estrelas]

Great imagination of a story that teaches a lesson throughout. It has a somewhat hidden message of eating vegetables, being yourself, standing up to others for what you like, and how someone feels about being teased. I enjoyed it a lot and could see it as a really great read aloud book.

[conlonk · Nota: 4 de 5 estrelas]

I think this is a great children's book. I've read it multiple times in classrooms where I've volunteered and with children I've babysat. Has a good story about being yourself and not worrying about what other people think of you. However, the story is told in a creative and entertaining way, so that it isn't all about the moral (and therefore is more interesting to the children reading it).

[lallierr_1 · Nota: 3 de 5 estrelas]

Camilla's appearance changes in drastic ways when she gives in to peer pressure and won't act like herself.
