Reviews
This colorful book has become a modern classic, and for good reason! It has a great message about being yourself and fitting in, and it's delightfully and colorfully delivered. The story is an important and complicated one, but it's told in a way that lets even preschoolers relate.
A Bad Case of Stripes is a great example of a children's book that teaches an important lesson to children (and adults) in an understandable, approachable, and memorable way. If you or your young reader could use some encouragement to be true to yourselves, this book could be just the answer.
