Book Synopsis
A subversively hilarious picture book about a sloth, a lemur, a giant cake, and what happens when you don’t share, for fans of Jon Klassen and Mo Willems.

When Sloth and Lemur come across a giant, mouth-watering cake, they can’t believe their luck.

Trade Review
"A worthy addition to the trend of picture books showing the more ominous consequences of one’s actions in an anthropomorphized animal kingdom. The effective use of background color, subtle expressions, gravity, and pacing make this a winning choice for storytime.... Dark and delicious.” – Kirkus "Kids are sure to get a laugh out of the mischievous Sloth and Lemur finding outlandish rationalization for a cake they have no intention of sharing, and fans of Klassen’s This Is Not My Hat will snicker at the darkly funny ending." – The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Story-time audiences will devour this book’s sly humor, effective page-turns, and subtle visual foreshadowing." –The Horn Book Magazine "The digital illustrations are placed on pastel backgrounds that allow the animals and their imagined party behavior to stand out....this funny take on 'revenge is sweet' makes for an understated and humorous tale." – School Library Journal —
