lighthearted
relaxing
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? No

I picked this up from the library after I read about it in an article which stated that the author had passed. I hadn't heard of the book, since it wasn't an American children's book. It was worth a read. A tiger invites himself to lunch and the family has to adapt. I am glad I found the book. It would have been cute to read to my kids when they were small.

He perdido la cuenta de las veces que he leído esta historia a mis hijos estos días. Les encanta. Nos encanta. Estos libros son magníficos para aprender inglés, repetimos palabras y jugamos con los dibujos. Pero además está el mensaje que transmite. Compartir como base de una vida feliz. Te planteas cosas como adulto del tipo, vaya familia más calmada y relajada, parecen que vienen tigres todos los días a merendar. O por qué no volvió el peludo y rayado tigre hambriento. Estos ingleses....

Sometimes it is a challenge to separate current day thoughts and practices with the thoughts and practices in a children's book from several decades ago. A tiger comes to tea, and eats & drinks up all the food, etc. The ending left me a little puzzled?!

A super fun kids book that is delightful to read, and was a childhood favourite of mine!

Book #49 for 2013
This is a comically understated little tale of a tiger who (you'll never guess) shows up at a little girl's home at teatime. I'm of two minds about the ending. On the one hand, yes, it's a little flat and anticlimactic. But it demonstrates a sense of humor that matches the story so perfectly I can't help but appreciate it. The retro illustrations are also fun.
I would recommend this especially if you are in the mood for something a little different from the usual kid-lit fare.

Sweet little story. Found it better than Where the Wild Things Are. It reminded me a little bit of The Very Hungry Caterpillar with all the eating.

A 1001 CBYMRBYGU. The doorbell rings. Sophie and her mummy go to the door to find a tiger, a hungry tiger, wants to come in and share their tea with them. They let the tiger in.
Sophie’s mummy said, “Would you like a sandwich?”
But the tiger didn’t take just one sandwich.
He took all the sandwiches on the plate
and swallowed them in one big mouthful.
Owp!
And he still looked hungry
so Sophie passed him the buns.
