Publisher Description

French version of A Bad Case of Stripes.

"What we have here is a bad case of stripes. One of the worst I've ever seen!"

Camilla Cream loves lima beans, but she never eats them. Why? Because the other kids in her school don't like them. And Camilla Cream is very, very worried about what other people think of her. In fact, she's so worried that she's about to break out in...a bad case of stripes!

Download and start listening now!

"I absolutely love this book and the message it sends to our children. Camilla Cream is a young girl who wants to fit in so bad, that she deprives herself of the one thing she loves... lima beans. It also starts when she can't figure out what to wear for the first day of school. This would be a great read for the first week of school or when teaching about self-confidence or self-esteem. Pictures are PHENOMENAL!"
