A voracious guest makes a surprise visit in this ferociously popular tale, first published more than fifty years ago. When the doorbell rings unexpectedly one afternoon, Sophie and her mummy can't imagine who might be there. Much to their surprise, a tiger with a very large appetite has come to tea! First published in 1968, this classic and whimsical picture book from beloved children's author and illustrator Judith Kerr is a delightful (and delicious!) story about the best way to entertain an unexpected houseguest, even when that guest just so happens to be a tiger.
