Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Ozzie loves to draw. Ozzie loves drawing and being an artist more than anything--even more than skateboarding! So when his teacher, Miss Cattywhompus, announces an art contest, Ozzie can't wait to get started. He works really hard on his picture of a goat. He knows it will win first place. There is only one problem. Miss Cattywhompus didn't ask the class to draw pictures of goats--the contest instructions say "Draw a Boat." Ozzie's picture doesn't win first place. And even though it does win honorable mention, he is devastated. How could he not win? He worked so hard. With a little help from Miss Cattywhompus, Ozzie comes to see that he, with his love of art, has won something far more important than a contest. In his picture book debut, Dana Sullivan has used his personal experience with artistic disappointment to create a warm, lovable character whose story will feel familiar to anyone who has followed his or her passion and hit an ever-so-slight bump in the road.
Ozzie the dog loves to draw and when his kindergarten teacher announces an art contest, he is sure he will win but he fails to follow directions, loses the contest, and is sad until Miss Cattywhompus reminds him that art is not about winning.
