Imagine it's the first day of school and you are trying to decide what to wear. You find the perfect outfit, put it on, strut to the mirror, only to find you have STRIPES!! That's just what happened to poor Camilla in David Shannon's richly illustrated book Stripes . The doctor sees no reason for Camilla not to go to school, since she is not contagious. The children are utterly amazed and her principal calls her a distraction! Will Camilla have stripes forever? You'll have to read to find out! Enjoy!
