and the Art Contest

Ozzie is very excited about the
art contest at school. His teacher reminds him to read the instructions, but
Ozzie is too excited. He works on his masterpiece all weekend. Back at school
on Monday, he is very disappointed to learn that his art project has only
received honorable mention. But his teacher points out that while his goat is
very well drawn, the instructions say to draw a boat. Ozzie learns a very
valuable lesson about paying attention and following the rules. He also learns
about accepting situations and fixing mistakes.
Children will love the playful
pictures that help illustrate the story. The message in the story is perfect
for young children and students who are having a hard time understanding the
importance of listening. The multi-level message will teach the lessons of
listening, paying attention, and not complaining about our mistakes. My
children enjoyed the story, especially the way Ozzie adapted once he learned
from his mistake.
I received this book free of charge from Children's Lit in exchange for my honest review.
