Every child wants to feel accepted. For some, feeling like they are a winner is a big part of that acceptance. If a child enters a contest and wins a prize, they feel like they are a big part of their family and society in general. This delightfully illustrated story tells the tale of such a child. He enters a contest, not knowing what the actual prize will be. He only knows he will receive a pet of some sort if he wins. He does win, but his prize is unusual and one he can't keep because he needs the proper place to provide her with a safe and happy home. His task becomes one of finding that perfect location. With the help of his sister and parents, the new pet finds the perfect home, and the child realizes that winning is an attainable goal.
