Book Character Dress-Up Day 2011



Brianna has a very strong love of the book A Bad Case of the Stripes. It is about Camilla Cream who wanted so badly to be liked at school and on the first day of school she wakes up with the stripes. Her parents try to find a cure and everyone has an opinion and they stripes keep getting worse until finally they find out the cure is actually lima beans.

She developed the love of the this book from her kindergarten teacher and she has never lost it. She was hoping to dress up as Camilla last year at her old school but they did not have a dress-up day and she probably would not have been able to since she had a little boy in her class that was afraid of the book and all things stripes.... Surely I would have talked her out of it.

This was her year to get to dress up as Camilla and there was no talking her out of it. We got her up really early and Brian painted her stripes on. She was so excited!!!

She won the character dress-up for her class and ALL of the first and kindergarten classes!!! She got a bunch of goodies and a gift card to Barnes and Noble! My only concern is what can she do to one up herself next year!!!
