Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This classic story of Sophie and her extraordinary tea-time guest is now brought to life in an exciting luxury pop-up edition to celebrate Judith Kerr's 90th birthday.

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 timeless picture book, beloved of many generations, is now presented as a luxury pop-up edition to celebrate the 90th birthday of its creator, Judith Kerr. All artwork has been re-originated and the picture story has been seamlessly transformed into a delightful 3-D novelty book with flaps, pull tabs and beautiful pop-ups and original text.

Publishers Weekly Review

An unexpected guest arrives at Sophie's house and eats more than his fair share in The Tiger Who Came to Tea (1968) by Judith Kerr, conveyed in charming scenes that reflect 1960s sensibilities; and the language is deliciously British ("They had a lovely supper with sausages and chips and ice cream").

Horn Book Review

A hungry tiger asks if he can come in for tea, then eats and drinks everything in the house, thanks Sophie and her mother politely, and makes his exit. While the tiger looks quite realistic, his little half-smile lets readers know they can relax and enjoy the story. This new edition is twice as big as the original, but the story and pictures are strong enough to withstand this doubling in size. From HORN BOOK Spring 2003, (c) Copyright 2010.
