Description
Sometimes the best prize of all isn’t a trophy.
The big competition is tomorrow, and Elvis and his friends are anxiously preparing. Which pup will be crowned “Best in Show?” They’ve all been working so hard. Who gets to take home the trophy?
From bestselling author Chasta Hamilton, The Trophy Trap chronicles the journey of Elvis, a lovable Scottish Terrier, as he competes for a prize that only one dog can claim. From self-assured Laila to over-achieving Betty, each dog is unique and has something special to offer—and overcome. Kids of all ages will learn along with Elvis and his friends to trade comparison, judgment, and burnout for confidence, compassion, and perseverance. An invaluable lesson in self-worth, The Trophy Trap shows that winners don’t always have trophies.

This is such a lovely read. The words bounce along when read out loud to my little one. I couldn’t help but out on voices, as the sentences, and the rhymes are well written and push to this! The sentiment is great. Winning and losing and wanting the best for ourselves and others. The examples given, and the story being to.d through the eyes of a puppy and a very entertaining dog talent show serves the moral well. The images add to the book, after all who wouldn’t love to talk about a dog playing croquet! A great addition to the bedtime story pile in any home.

The book was beautifully written. The author made careful word choices that were very impactful. I also liked how some of the words were different colors which makes it more engaging for young readers. Overall, the book was well written and I did really enjoy it.

A lovely book about what matters most in life, competitions and friendships. This is mostly suitable for younger children. My child, who is 9, also found this engaging though. The characters being personified dogs made the situations easier to analyse and learn from, cute and strangely, or perhaps not strangely, relatable.
I liked that this book was honest about how losing feels like.
The prose was well-thought. A much needed conversation about trophies being traps.
