The Independent
`A modern classic.'

Junior Magazine
`This book has enduring charm and young children will delight in the preposterous notion of a tiger creating mayhem in the house.'

Dorothy Butler, Babies Need Books.
`Near perfection of form is embellished by clear, expressive illustrations. The pace is exactly right, the resolution totally satisfying.'

Customer Reviews

A Wonderful Re-discovery
I recently bought this for my daughter after spotting it in Marks and Spencers. I earned a few strange looks with my mini squeal of delight, but nevermind! I had completely forgotton about this book until seeing it again, and the memories flooded back as I read the story to my daugher. The simple story will delight any child, but for me, the drawings made the book. A must!!

Delight to my grandchildren
I have read this book to my 3 grandchildren time and again and still they are not tired of it - aged 5yrs and 2yrs - the 5year old having heard it since he was 2yrs 'pretends' not to be listening as his brother and cousin have it read to them but he's definitely paying attention!!
The ridiculousness (if that is a word) of the story is lovable and causes many smiles and OH'S - for some reason the scene of mess left behind always brings an Ooh and Ahh as Mummy has to clean up. The favourite picture is tiger pouring the tea down him from the pot!

a great tradition yet quirky book

my two sons aged 3 and a half and aged 15 months both sit in awe of this book! there is a traditional feel with the mummy making this fantasic tea which she is happy to share with this stranger at the door - a tiger! then there is the crazy element that you would let a tiger into your house - the tiger never roars at all and amazingly my very vocal boys never roar when they see him in this book as he is a friendly tiger.
this book is simply great, a must have for parents and children.
