I loved this book when I was little, the colors and the pictures were amazing

[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.

Gorgeous illustrations and such a beautiful example of why it is so important to be yourself!

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!

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.

[kvelin-1 · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

This is a modern fantasy picture book about a little girl who is afraid of what people think. She is so conscious of it that she refuses to eat lima beans, which are her favorite. On the first day of school she is particularly worried, then she looks in the mirror and screams. She is covered in stripes from head to toe. Every time a doctor tries something she morphs into whatever they say or try. No one seems to be able to help her. Until one day a little old lady says she has the cure. All the girl has to do is eat lima beans and things will go back to normal. The girl laughs at first afraid of what people will think. But she changes her mind and sure enough she turns back to normal. Now she eats lima beans without caring what people think.

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.

[ehopki7 · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

I loved this book for many reasons. One thing that made the book extremely interesting to read were the illustrations! With the book centering on a little girl and her case of the "stripes", the bright colors and large pictures really helped the reader to visualize what she was going through. I think the story flowed very well, and was written at a good pace to keep the reader interested. Although the disease of the stripes is not very believable, the main character was and I think many young readers would be able to identify with her. The main message and idea of this book is that it is extremely important to stay true to yourself and to follow your own path and instincts.

[tbarne9 · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

I love this book! This was my mother's favorite book to read to me. She was just like Camilla, the main character in the story who LOVED lima beans. My mother would read this story to me and we would have so much fun. The pictures are almost just as important as the text of the story. They give great detail to what was happening to Camilla and the many colors, patterns, and shapes Camilla was turning into. They were so fun for me to look at. Another thing I liked in this story were the characters. The main character was Camilla, who in the beginning of the story, was worried about what other people thought of her. She was worried about how she looked and what she ate. By the end of the story, she was eating her lima beans proudly, no matter what other people thought.

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.

[jmille113 · Nota: 4 de 5 estrelas]

This book is about wanting to fit in so desperately that you become someone you are not. I like this book for three reasons. The first reason is how the book is written using a third person point of view. This enabled the author to explain different scenarios with his own words, giving the book a more light hearted feeling. An example of this comes when describing what happened to Camilla at school: “Soon everyone was calling out different shapes and colors, and poor Camilla was changing faster than you can change channels on a T.V.” The second reason I like this book is because I enjoyed the descriptive language of the text, which packs in many different words and phrases in a short reading span. An example is when Dr. Bumble first arrives to examine Camilla. He asks, “Are you having any coughing, sneezing, runny nose, aches, pains, chills, hot flashes, dizziness, drowsiness, shortness of breath, or uncontrollable twitching?” Finally, I like how the illustrations effectively enhance the plot as it progresses. When Dr. Bumble arrives with three specialists, “They squeezed and jabbed, tapped and tested,” Camilla. The accompanying picture shows Camilla with all four of these people performing stereotypical doctors’ tests at the same time. The comical exaggeration gets the point through.

[aholli3 · Nota: 4 de 5 estrelas]

In my opinion, this is a great book. I enjoyed the illustrations and the characters. As I read the book, I felt that the illustrator did a great job portraying how Camilla changed over time. First, her body was filled with stripes, then she went to school and other patterns appeared on her body, such as the american flag, polka dots, and checkers. I also liked the portrayal of the characters because I felt that they were all different in their own way. Although the story is a fantasy, the characters were well-developed and their relationships with one another were believable. The doctor helped Camilla with her medications, but the old woman in the end helped Camilla become herself again by simply feeding her lima beans. After Camilla ate the lima beans, the "real her" came out and she was spotless, and healthy again.The big idea of the story is to appreciate who you are, and that it is not necessary to suppress personality traits just to fit in.

[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.

[abrozi1 · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

This is such a great story. Everybody can relate to this book. A little girl who refuses lima beans, but actually really loves them. She won't eat them, because she will get made fun of for it. She ends up getting the stripes and her body takes on everything everyone else is saying to her. For example, she goes to school and the class sings the Star Spangled Banner and Camilla's body turns red, white, and blue with stars! There is not a person in the world that has or has not done something to avoid getting made fun of. When Camilla finally eats her lima beans all of the craziness goes away and she can just be herself! I highly recommend this book to children of all ages.

[lynleerae · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

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.

[cporte8 · Nota: 4 de 5 estrelas]

 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.

[heathersilva · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

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.

I absolutely love this book. Has amazing illustrations and a great message. This story is also comical and entertaining. Camilla Cream is the main character and is a young girl who is very concerned about her image. She is so worried about what others think of her that she refuses to eat her favorite food, lima beans, in fear of being made fun of. When she becomes sick with the stripes she is taught a hard lesson on being yourself. At the end of the story nothing made her stripes go away except lima beans. She learned to do what she liked no matter what anyone said, and she would be happy. Although Camilla learned this through a case of stripes this is a lesson many children will have to learn. Hopefully this book can help them gain the confidence to do so. I gave this book five stars and would definitely recommend it.

[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.

[adscrim · Nota: 5 de 5 estrelas]

This was one of my all time favorite books when I was younger and I was more than eager to read it again when I opened up a box of my old childhood books. The writing is fantastic and the illustrations are even more fantastic, they are elaborate and bright and colorful. The story itself is intriguing, if not a little frightening for kids, because it's about a girl who is too afraid of what others will think of her and she thinks she will be judged for actually liking lima beans, so she doesn't eat them ever, and she gets a strange disease because of that. It encourages kids to not only eat their vegetables, but to not care or take into consideration what others think of you because everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Definitely a must-have!

[esiera1 · Nota: 4 de 5 estrelas]

There are several reasons I like "A Bad Case of Stripes." First, the plot is really great for young children. It is extremely funny and engaging. Second, I absolutely loved the illustrations because they enhanced the story. The pictures of Camilla are so engaging and appropriate to the mood of the story. Finally, Camilla is well-developed and believable. Even though the genre is modern fantasy, you could believe her character. Children could relate to how Camilla is feeling and how she act. For example, “Camilla wanted a big, heaping plate of lima beans more than just about anything, but she was still afraid to admit it. Yuck, no one likes lima beans, especially me!” The big idea of this book is being able to accept yourself for who you are.
