The Tiger Who Came to Tea by Judith Kerr
3.0
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.
