A Bad Case of Stripes
Written by: David Shannon
Illustrated by: David Shannon
This story was about a girl, Camilla Cream who got the bad case of stripes. She loves Lima beans but didn't eat them because her friends did like them. She tried on 40 different clothes and the stripes appeared all over her body. She got bullied and laughed at school by all her friends. She stayed at home and the doctor brought over 4 people to help her but they couldn't help her. then the doctor brought 2 more people over and they couldn't solve it. They asked a lady to come over and she also couldn't help but said just lay there and breathe and become one with your room and then Camilla turned into her room. Then another lady came to the door and did a little knock and she said she thinks she could solve the stripes. She pulled out a jar of green beans from her bag and said to Camilla these are lima beans. Camilla said yuck i don't like lima beans, no one does. I lady started to walk away and Camilla said wait i love lima beans. The lady put a handful of beans in her mouth but the mouth was her bed and the stripes were gone.
This story was funny because lots of people tried to help Camilla make her stripes go away but they couldn't. I also liked how Camilla said she didn't want the Lima beans, But she was lying.
Hi Jess. Do you know I have looked at the cover of this book, but have never read it! Your book review gives me a really good picture of what it's about, thanks for sharing. I have read other books by David Shannon, they are good- have you read No David? It's very funny.
