A Bad Case of Stripes (Scholastic Bookshelf)

This is a funny look at self conciousness. Sometimes we adults fuss over much and make a small problem bigger. We also think there should be a pill for everything. If you like David Shannon's other books, you will like this as well.

I feel for the woman whose daughter is traumatized over this book but don't quite get why. The illustrations are phenomenal and the moral of the story is truly timeless. I can only pray that my young children will be able to apply the moral all life long. Highly highly recommend this book. I recommend this book to everyone I know and it will always be a family favorite.

Outstanding book that teaches kids the importance that being different is better than always "following " the crowd. It seems silly at first but it disguises a great lesson that is easily understood by kids that are 4 years or older in my opinion.

All of a sudden my granddaughter, Gracie, (who is a very picky eater) decided she loved lima beans of which she had hardly eaten. I asked her why her sudden love for them, and she replied she had read the book and decided she wanted to be her own person too! I loved the concept. She is only 8 years old and I just pray this is instilled in her for life!
