Story
A quiet afternoon is transformed by the arrival of a very hungry and thirsty tiger who eats all the food in the cupboards and drinks all the water in the kitchen tap. This is the story of how Sophie and her Mum handle the situation.

Why we chose it
The story stars a magnificent tiger who politely visits a mother and daughter, who politely share their food and drink. The surreal and understated humour and beautiful illustrations combine to make this a classic bedtime favourite.
