The day begins in the Amazon rainforest, and the delicious aroma of the cupcakes being prepared by the sloth can already be felt. The anteater, determined to be the first to taste them, woke up early to get to the front of the queue. Soon after, other animals arrive, eager to try a cupcake, and chaos ensues! Will the anteater manage to eat his much-desired cupcake?

A vibrant and colourful story, winner of the Enric Solbes International Prize for Best Illustrated Album, with a strong message about how sometimes the last can indeed be the first and how knowing when to stop, think, analyse, and define the right path is, in fact, the best solution.
