The Tiger who came to tea

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The enchanting story of Sophie and her extraordinary tea-time guest has been loved by millions of children since it was first published 40 years ago. Now a new generation can enjoy this perennial children's classic in a mini edition.

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 modern classic picture book is perfect for reading aloud, or for small children to read to themselves time and again. All artwork has been re-originated and a fresh design approach has been used for this reformatted edition.

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.
