Entertaining older story. Very British, very proper, and jolly good fun to read at teatime!

I’ve read this to my small human many times. It was a favourite in my childhood, and I was a bit worried about how it would have dated, but it wasn’t as bad as feared, and is still quite delightful.

I adored this book when I was little, and I recently purchased it again, purely for the nostalgia! I resisted the urge to have my Mum read it to me (haha) but it hasn't lost any of its original charm.

Sure the social concepts are a little outdated now, but it still makes for a fabulous children's book; definatelt and without a doubt one of my all time favourites.

The Tiger who came to Tea
This is a cute children’s picture book about a young girl who is having tea with her mother when there is a knock at the door. All of a sudden a tiger enters and joins them and ends up eating all of the food in the house!

I heard this was a famous/classic picture book, but couldn't find it in print at my library. We were able to download the short audio book and listen to it today. It was a fun story about a tiger who shows up for tea and eats all the food in the house. My 6 and 8 year old enjoyed it.

Such a silly book to read during my lunch break. :)) It's one of the best selling children's books ever and I can see why. Kids aged 2-5 will be smitten.

Charming artwork and writing, but no one acted particularly upset at the tiger after it consumed all the food and drink. I expected the mother to at least be annoyed.

A sweeet lovely book for children. My niece is enjoying it very much with daily repeated reads. Even I (much grown-up) loved the sweet innocent story. The illustrations are very very nice.
