Ozzy Ox Stands Against Socks
“Let’s hold your thought, give it a rest,
We'll go outside today and test!"
Said Ozzy, running down the hall.
He came right back and stood up tall.
With thick, bright socks on all four feet.
Out through the door, they met the street.
But when he felt the brutal cold,
Did Ozzy believe what he’d been told?

"Ozzy is an adorable, stubborn calf that many kids will relate to. His personality was evident in his body language and expressions, which can be seen in the colorful and eye-catching illustrations."
Remember the last time you got up on the wrong side of the bed?
"Oh, Ozzy Ox, you began this day
In a most sniveling, quibbling way.
You waved your hooves so angrily,
And scared the screech right out of me."
"Oh, Ozzy Ox, you began this day
In a most sniveling, quibbling way.
You waved your hooves so angrily,
And scared the screech right out of me."
