Reach for this book when your child feels social pressure to have the newest, flashiest toy or when they are struggling with feelings of inadequacy compared to peers. It is a perfect remedy for the 'comparison trap' that children often fall into at school or parties. The story follows Betsy as she chooses which doll to bring to a neighborhood party with prizes for the oldest, best-dressed, and most talented dolls. Instead of picking a pristine doll, Betsy chooses her well-worn, deeply loved Jennifer. It is a gentle exploration of loyalty and the intrinsic value of things we love, suitable for children ages 4 to 8. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's internal compass over external rewards.
