A Bad Case of Stripes

Bibliographic Information: Shannon, D. (2004). A bad case of stripes. New York, New York: Scholastic, Inc.

Annotation: Poor Camilla wants everyone to like her so badly that she starts to break out in stripes. She ultimately realizes she needs to be true to herself.

Genre: Fiction

Grade Level: PreK-3

Readers Who Will Like This Book: Anyone who has ever felt like they wanted to be the same as everyone else.

Personal Response and Rating: I rate this book a 3. The illustrations are bold and colorful and help tell the story of a girl who wants so badly to fit in that she begins to take on the physical characteristics of what other people think. David Shannon ends the book on a positive note that while some people think the main character is a little weird, she is happier being herself.
