![]() While this is of course very important, and a skill we want all of our students to learn, I thought it would be fun to use this book to talk more explicitly about different food preferences. Scholastic offers a good lesson plan for Pre-K thru 2 nd grade which focuses on learning to respect and accept differences in others. Isn’t there anyone who can help Camilla remember what it means to be herself? Specialists are called but the situation goes from bad to worse. When the class says the Pledge of Allegiance, she turns red, white, and blue! Instead of blending in, she’s standing out. Camilla Cream is very worried about what other people think about her, but at the very moment she most wants to fit in, she becomes completely covered in colorful stripes! Worse yet, she seems to change colors to match whatever is happening around her. Why? Because the other kids in her school don’t like them. Since I know many of us are always looking for new books and ways to use them to extend learning – whether at home with your kids or in your classroom – I thought I’d share.Ĭamilla Cream loves lima beans, but she never eats them. I’m so glad that she did as it’s a great story and also happened to spark some fun ideas of how we might use this book as we develop some new workshops for younger kids. ![]() Recently, my daughter asked me to read A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon during read aloud time in her kindergarten class. ![]() By Wendy Jeffries, TasteWise Kids Executive Director
