Preview:
Sophie and her Mummy are sitting down for tea when the doorbell suddenly rings. But the unexpected guest at the door isn't a friend or neighbour—it’s a big, furry, stripy tiger! The tiger is very hungry and politely joins them for tea, but before long, he has eaten all the sandwiches, buns, biscuits, and even everything in the kitchen! When Daddy comes home, Sophie and Mummy have a rather unusual story to tell.
