A Bad Case Of STRIPES, by David Shannon, is a great read aloud book. It is about a girl named Camilla Cream who likes to eat lima beans. Although, she didn't want anyone to know. Camilla kept this a secret, because she wanted to be like all of her friends who hated lima beans. Being like her friends caused Camilla to come down with a case of stripes. Being such an indecisive girl, caused Camilla to be whatever someone wanted her to be. In the end she realized that it was best to be herself, and that it was ok to eat lima beans. This book is really good if you want to talk with children about being proud of who they are. The book is filled with wonderful pictures that allow the children to giggle their way through till the end.
