''The Tiger Who Came to Tea'' is a children's picture book written and illustrated by Judith Kerr, and remains one of, if not, her most famous and acclaimed work first published in 1968. One day Sophie is having afternoon tea with her mother when they hear a knock on the door. Wondering who it could possibly be Sophie answers the door and the caller is revealed to be a large tiger. When the Tiger asks if he could come in to have tea with them in the house Sophie and her mum welcome their quest with equal awe of his presence, fear as he starts to eat everything in their house, and warmth as Sophie sees the gentler side of their carnivorous guest.
