Geraldine McEwan
A simple and appealing story which really lends itself to being read aloud, much to the delight of young children. On one side is a dramatised version with the sound effects of the Tiger who invites himself to tea at Sophie's house, gulping down all the milk in the jug and crunching up all the tins in the larder, as well as talking to himself. The other side is a straight, crisp narration in impeccable Geraldine McEwan style, which can be listened to with the quality book, by following either the words or the irresistible Judith Kerr pictures.
