Bookroo's summary

Ant is thrilled to dine with Lion, but chaos ensues when unruly guests leave her with crumbs. Determined to make amends, her cake-baking gesture spirals into a wild contest. Can Ant prove her worth and satisfy the King? Discover the unexpected twists in this delightful tale.

From the publisher

When Ant receives a special invitation to dine with Lion, she is ready to be on her best behavior. During dessert, the other guests do not mind their manners, and by the time the dessert cake reaches Ant, barely a crumb is left for her to share with the King! Baking a cake seems like the perfect way to make it up to him . . . until the other guests turn her kind gesture into a contest. Exactly how many cakes are fit for a king?
