Welcome to Litsy!

That's right kids, be comfortable with your personal preferences and don't let the world dictate what you should be, or else the (body) HORRORS will be visited upon thee! 🤦🏼‍♂️ Camilla's transformation was unsettling but entertaining, but the way this author/illustrator paints people in general does not work for me. Do not think I'll be investigating his other work.

Yes, I do believe I would scream too.
Has David Shannon considered writing horror? 🫣

I appreciate the levels of creativity evident in such a surreal concoction, but was no one afraid they might traumatize the demographic that typically reads picture books?! 😬

Big hit with my daughters when they were little. Remember? @Caitlin_Sheridan

This is about a young girl who is very ill. The type of illness she has is very odd, because it continues to change her skin into different colors and patterns. She is very upset about this change that is happening to her. She doesn't want to be seen anywhere. However, she learns to love the skin that she is in eventually. This is a story that teaches confidence and self-worth. It is a great read and has a great lesson.

“The truth is, I really love Lima beans”

The illustrations in this book are very unique, colorful, and creative. This book sends a great message to be yourself and not worry about what other might think of you. This can be enjoyed at any age group.

This is a classic story that I remember from when I was young. Camilla loved Lima beans but never ate them because her friends didn‘t. Camilla becomes covered in rainbow stripes and misses the first day of school. Her stripes turned into many different colors and patterns. They tried every doctor and every cure, but the only thing that got rid of the stripes were Lima beans.

This book is about a young insecure girl named Camilla Cream who is not comfortable in her own body and learns to not care what others think only what she thinks. One day she wakes up covered in stripes she had a bad case of stripes that day and learns just why she did.

Published in 1998, this fiction story follows a young girl who wakes up very sick. He skin continues to change to different patterns. The young girl is very insecure of her skin being different patterns, but eventually she learns to be happy in her identity. I would read this story to my students because it has a deep meaning, but it is taught through humor to keep the students engaged. This won the 3 apples book award.

This book would be a get use in my class room to model how you might feel inside when you worry about what others think. I like the way it is full of color and the imagination is beyond clever

A very cute book about a little girl being so worried about what others think of that she get a bad case of stripes

Brief Summary: Camellia loved lima beans. She knows nobody likes them so she stopped eating them. When she woke up in shock to see she had stripes! Everyone was staring and looking at her at school. Nobody could find a solution to her problem. An old lady comes and says she has a solution for her… it was lima beans!

We managed to stay healthy for so long! But…my husband is a wedding photographer and his job is to be in large groups. It was bound to happen.

So, we‘ve been quarantining. Fortunately, aside from the first bout of fever, I‘m feeling okay. Not great, mind you…but okay. Thankful for vaccines — & for timing! Our quarantine period will be over just in time for our vacation (during which time we‘ll be extra, doubly-masked in public). Oof.

This is MF. This book is great for RA. This book teaches students on overcoming your insecurities and being happy for who you.

Camilla Cream loves lima beans! Her friends, however, do not. When she starts to receive judgement about liking them, she decides to no longer eat them. Suddenly, she wakes up with thick colorful stripes on her body! What could possibly cure this?!? This book is great to teach kids about inclusion and acceptance. It also highlights that being different is okay because that‘s what makes you, you! #UCFLAE3414SP20

This childrens F book;”A Bad Case of Stripes” by David Shannon, is about a girl who is so scared of her first day of school and just wants to fit in, but something strange occurs to her. This would be a perfect book to read on the first day of school.

This would also be perfect as a readers theater and there are 18 characters so the whole class could be involved.

“She tried her best to act normal, but when the class said the pledge of allegiance, her stripes turned red, white, and blue, and she broke out in stars!“ This quote is a great example as to how kids try and hide how they are feeling.

I think this book is perfect to read in a bullying lesson. The other kids make fun of Camillia for her skin. After reading the book you could talk about how hurt Camillia was from the teasing, and how teasing affects others.

“A Bad Case of Stripes“ by David Shannon, 2004. Picture book. I love this book! It's all about the pressures of fitting in, which is something very relevant to elementary age children, especially the older ones. The illustrations are a vital piece to the story. Camilla has a case of “stripes“ which makes her skin all different types of colors, like rainbow. In the illustrations she really stands out from all the other kids.

“Some of the kids at school said she was weird, but she didn't care a bit“

I would use this in my classroom because it shows the children that it doesn't matter what other people think about you and to be yourself.

This book does a great job of showing the development of the story through the pictures, the content is also age-appropriate. It shows the kids that it is okay to be different and that the most important thing is to be yourself.

“Some of the kids at school said she was weird, but she didn't care a bit.“

I would use this book in my future classroom because of the whimsical illustrations and the great theme behind the images.

This book was about a young girl who did not want to show who she really was because she was afraid of being bullied, and her learning to embrace herself. It is a picture book because the content is appropriate for the age level. Young students can relate to wanting to fit in. Also, the pictures are accurate and consistent with the plot of the text.

“Camilla was always very worried about what other people thought of her”. This quote will probably connect with a lot of children, as many of them are insecure and this could be an easy way to bond with this book.

Quite honestly, this book spooked me and many other people I know as a child. The illustrations are very vivid and bizarre. I would not read this book to a group of children for the sake of not scaring them.

Review: This book is about a girl named Camilla and she loves lima beans. Camilla becomes so worried about what other children will think of her if they find out she likes lima beans that she breaks out into a bad case of stripes. This book chronicles Camilla as she learns that not everyone likes or dislikes the same things and gradually results in her not caring if the other children know she likes lima beans.

“I knew the real you was in there somewhere.”

This is one of many tales of someone afraid of what others will think of them; Camilla has a love for lima beans and is worried what people might think. This story sets a good theme for readers to learn early on to be yourself and love who you are. It is a good lengthy story with lots of dialogue and expression.

the artwork and bright colors in this book really add to the story. they‘re very detailed and show lots of emotions the kids could relate to.

“I think I better bring in the Specialists.”

I remember reading this book as a kid and thinking that it would be awesome to turn rainbow! The pictures in this book are so detailed and colorful.

This book has such a great meaning for kids. It gives them the message to not let others actions change you because you could end up hurting yourself. The illustrations in this book are just awesome. They‘re so detailed and full of color.

What a delightful book! I am in love with the illustrations! #BBRC #A2Z @LibrarianRyan #picturebooks ♥️

“And being laughed at for eating them was nothing, compared to what she‘d been going through.”

This book is super cute and a good way to teach kids to be themselves. I would definitely have it in my classroom.

I love how the illustrations lined up perfectly with the story. The plot was fun and simple for children to follow. It also had a good theme of being yourself.

I would use this modern fantasy picture book in my classroom as a read aloud. Camilla Cream, a closeted lover or Lima beans, and a worrier about others‘ opinions of her, wakes up on the first day of school completely covered in stripes. If the stripes weren‘t bad enough, her skin begins to develop everything people suggest she has. The story raises the question of whether or not it is important to care about what people think of you. #lae3414sp19
