My Review

'The Tiger Who Came To Tea' really needs no introduction - Judith Kerr's illustrations tell the story so beautifully that even very young children can recreate the words for themselves independently after a few read-alouds. I've always wondered whether a tiger really did come to tea, or whether Sophie's mummy actually just forgot to go shopping!

Heads Up!

Judith Kerr has wrote so many wonderful books - another one of our favourites is 'One night in the Zoo'.

Publisher Review

The classic picture book story of Sophie and her extraordinary teatime guest has been loved by millions of children since it was first published more than fifty years ago. The doorbell rings just as Sophie and her mummy are sitting down to tea. Who could it possibly be? What they certainly don't expect to see at the door is a big furry, stripy tiger! This warm and funny picture book story is perfect for reading aloud, or for small children to read to themselves time and again. First published in 1968 and never out of print, it has become a timeless classic enjoyed and beloved by generations of children.
