About this book
Judith Kerr created a best loved children's classic with her story The Tiger Who Came to Tea and has delighted generations of children.The gentle illustrations coupled with the slightly anarchic story have unbeatable child-appeal and make this a perfect book to read aloud. If you haven't invited the tiger into your home yet, do so without delay! Toddlers from 1+ will love the big striped hero and his naughty antics.
Red House Readers say...
"I have read it many times but never tire of it - luckily!"This book is completely wonderful and, in our opinion, one that all children should have on their bookshelves! It tells the story of a little girl (Sophie) who is having afternoon tea with her mother when the doorbell unexpectedly rings. Sophie is delighted to find a big, furry, stripy tiger standing on her doorstep. She and her mother invite him in - as of course anyone would in the same situation! The story is charmingly old fashioned and is one of those books that a child will return to again and again, and probably be reading to their own children in years to come. I have read it many times but never tire of it - luckily! We would rate this book as 5/5 definitely.

"Wonderful Story"
Wonderfully logical yet slightly insane, just like all the best stories, this book is responsible for my toddler's tiger obsession.

""Brilliant classic""
My three-year-old loves this book, we even went to see it in the theatre and she still sings the story. Amazing, must have book!

""Wonderful read""
I remember this book being read to me when I was a child and loved it. I passed my copy of the book onto both my daughters who equally adore it. I read this to my youngest tonight before bed and it still brings back wonderful memories. Quite simply it's a classic.

""A classic""
A classic book that every toddler should have, I've started collecting many what I would consider classic books, such as The Tiger that Came to Tea, Dogger, Meg and Mog, Mog the Forgetful Cat. Stories that I loved as a child and now pass that love to my son. As most things in life there are some cracking modern books but the old ones are the best.
