Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
An unexpected guest arrives at Sophie's house and eats more than his fair share in The Tiger Who Came to Tea (1968) by Judith Kerr, conveyed in charming scenes that reflect 1960s sensibilities; and the language is deliciously British ("They had a lovely supper with sausages and chips and ice cream").

Review by Horn Book Review
A hungry tiger asks if he can come in for tea, then eats and drinks everything in the house, thanks Sophie and her mother politely, and makes his exit. While the tiger looks quite realistic, his little half-smile lets readers know they can relax and enjoy the story. This new edition is twice as big as the original, but the story and pictures are strong enough to withstand this doubling in size. From HORN BOOK Spring 2003, (c) Copyright 2010.
