Reading Comprehension Questions
by David Shannon
8 curated questions
A girl named Camilla Cream loves lima beans but pretends not to because her friends don't like them. One day, she wakes up covered in stripes, and her skin keeps changing colors and patterns based on what people say or think about her. She tries many cures from different specialists, but nothing works. Finally, an old woman helps her realize that being herself is the best cure, and when Camilla eats her favorite lima beans, her stripes disappear. She learns to be true to herself.
