Goodreads

A sloth and a lemur find a cake. They decide they should have a party but are unsure who to invite as everyone presents a challenge with the cake. Elephant will eat the entire cake. Tiger will eat the entire cake and then eat them. Ants require too many tiny pieces. They finally decide to eat the entire cake themselves. Tiger comes along and accuses them of eating the cake that belonged to them. The story then implies that Tiger eats the sloth and lemur, and the story ends there. This ending could prove traumatic for sensitive kids, but the rest of the book is silly and fun. If not for the ending, this book would be a GREAT one for story time. There is minimal text on each page and the colorful illustrations will keep young readers engaged. Recommended for readers 3 and up (with the warning about the ending).
