Still don't understand how the tiger drank all the water in the house! But my goddaughter and her brother loved it, and so did I. (

Classic story of an uninvited and unusual guest who shows up to tea very hungry. Illustrations are whimsical, perfect for the text. (

Lovely old story, that feels even older (

A polite tiger comes to tea...and eats and drinks EVERYTHING! Sophie and her mum tell Sophie's father when he gets home, and they all go out to a cafe for dinner, then buy new groceries - including tiger food, in case the tiger comes back - but he never does!

The book concerns a girl called Sophie, her mother, and an anthropomorphised tiger who interrupts their afternoon tea. (
