A Bad Case of Stripes

I absolutely ADORE this book. David Shannon tells and illustrates the story of Camilla Cream who catches a "bad case of stripes" when she doesn't eat her lima beans because she fears what her classmates will think of her. The illustrations are absolutely stunning. I'm shocked that it didn't win a Caldecott Medal. I feel compelled to rip the pages out and hang them on my wall. Suggested age group 4-8 although I feel that anybody, young or old, can appreciate the beauty of this book.
