The classic picture book story of Sophie and her extraordinary teatime guest has been loved by millions of children since it was first published more than fifty years ago. Now an award-winning animation!
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 warm and funny picture book story is perfect for reading aloud, or for small children to read to themselves time and again. First published in 1968 and never out of print, it has become a timeless classic enjoyed and beloved by generations of children.

The magic begins at teatime!

‘A modern classic.’ The Independent

“It’s no surprise Judith’s work is still popular. It owes nothing to the vagaries of style or fashion. Her warmth and humanity are timeless.” Michael Foreman

This book was a childhood favourite of mine and I was super excited to be able to share it with my step son. He loves the book and we read it as one of his bed time stories 2-3 times a week. I love watching his face light up as we read about the greedy tiger's antics!

Although I have to say the husband and wife relationship looks old-fashioned to me haha, my baby loves it and so do I. We enjoy the magic the story gives to us everyday whenever my baby gives me that book during the day.

This story has endearing characters and British tea. It’s a good book to lead into a discussion of manners among other things. My four-year-olds enjoy it, especially since I also bought the stuffed tiger main character too.

My granddaughter loves this book. Great illustrations and lovely story.
My only complaint is the Amazon driver left it on my step in the pouring rain. Luckily it didn't damage the book. I was in the house when it was delivered but he didn't knock on the door.
