Robotswithpersonality
A Bad Case of Stripes | David Shannon
post image
Mehso-so

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.

Cuilin As a 25+ years preschool/K teacher, can‘t say I like his books either. 3mo
Robotswithpersonality @Cuilin Vindication! 😃 Hey, who knows, maybe there's one little kid who became a successful horror writer after being spookily inspired so early. 😅 3mo
Cuilin @Robotswithpersonality you always hope that the right book finds its way to the right person. He was just not for me or my classroom. 🫶 3mo
Robotswithpersonality @Cuilin Agreed! Valid. 3mo

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?! 😬

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 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.

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.
