Product Description
Review
When it was first published, Antonia Fraser called it
“a dazzling first book”
which would cause children to
“scream with delicious pleasure at the dangerous naughtiness of the notion.”
Junior Magazine
`This book has enduring charm and young children will delight in the preposterous notion of a tiger creating mayhem in the house.'

One day, there was a knock at the door of Sophie's house, just as she and her mummy were going to have tea, but the milkman had already come and it was not the day for the boy from the grocer; it could not be daddy because he was coming home a little bit later and he had his keys. Who was the mysterious being at the door? Find out in this book...
This book is wonderful: the illustrations are vivid and bright; the vocabulary range is good for children aged from 4 - 7 and the story line is delightful. It is a truly superb book.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book with my brother (who enjoyed it as well) and would rate it, for myself and on behalf of my brother, 10/ 10.

I loved this book as a child, and it would be just worth keeping now I'm in my teens just to bring back the memories of those first few years of me being able to read!
I would definitely recommend for any mum who has a toddler - read it to them and I doubt they'd forget it even when they're 30! =P

This classic book is a staunch favourite in our house and has been for years! The drawings are fabulous, the storyline builds to a wonderful climax and the little twist at the end is just delicious. It is simply one of the best books for young children and I have never yet met one who didn't love it once they had met it!
Some books make you sigh when your child asks for it yet again, but this one never does. It is always a pleasure to read for both the parent and the child and I heartily commend it to you as an excellent addition to your collection.

The Tiger who Came to Tea
A lovely book for children of all ages, although my grandson was only 5 months old he was fascinated with the pictures and "felt" the pages as the story was read to him

Tiger, Tiger
My grandson really enjoyed having this book read to him. The book is well constructed to handle the vagaries of a three year old browsing the story pictures.

the Kids love bed time now
I really like it when a book starts with a preposterous scenario, like a tiger knocking on the door and asking to come in, and kids don't even bat an eyelid! Read more

A funny and lovely traditional book
This brilliant children's book is a timeless classic! The drawings, if perhaps a little old style, are beautiful and capture the storyline perfectly. Read more

Classic Kids Book
Great classic kids book. Got for my godson as a gift and he loves the story. The book is bigger than you think in size, as for the price I thought it would be smaller. Read more
