A funny tale of a naughty anteater who loves being the centre of attention and gets stuck when the wind changes.

Arturo is a cheeky show-off and he loves to pull faces and be silly. He desperately wants to be the centre of everybody's attention and even has dreams of becoming the most famous anteater in the whole wide world. Out of the blue, he gets just what he's been wishing for and all eyes are on him! But will life in the spotlight turn out to be everything he imagined...? A hilarious, cautionary tale of a naughty, very cheeky anteater who loves to be the centre of attention.

'An anteater is antsy for world fame [...] Arturo's exaggerated facial features enhance the fun. A sly, winking acknowledgment that naughtiness is harder to root out than one might wish.' - Kirkus Reviews
