“A Bad Case Of Stripes” by David Shannon is a fun and whimsical story about individuality and accepting yourself. Of course it is beautifully illustrated in David Shannon’s signature style (although much more refined than in his “David” books) which adds to the appeal, but the most enchanting thing about this book for me is the message: be true to yourself. While the subtleties of the story line may be above your child’s head until the age of four or five, the colorful and dynamic illustration designs can keep the attention of children as young as two or three. This is a classic book that will grow with your child, I glowingly recommend it.
