The Tiger Who Came to Tea

by Judith Kerr

The Tiger Who Came to Tea Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

While Sophie and her mother are sitting down to tea one afternoon, the doorbell rings. A big, furry, stripy tiger has come for tea ... and sandwiches, and buns, and biscuits ... and eats all the food in the house until there's nothing left to cook for Daddy's supper.

Judith Kerr's reassuring and funny story — with just a hint of anarchy — has been delighting children since its first publication thirty-five years ago. This modern classic has gone on to sell over three million copies worldwide, making it one of the most popular picture books for children ever written.

Synopsis:

The doorbell rings just as Sophie and her mommy 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! A tiger who drinks all the tea, then goes on to eat all the food in the house and drink all the drinks, even draining the water from the taps so that Sophie cannot have her bath. This reassuring, funny story with a hint of anarchy has delighted children for years since its first publication.
