A Wonderful Re-discovery - By: K. L. Kazoglu, 25 Sep 2008 
I recently bought this for my daughter after spotting itin Marks & Spencers. I earned a few strange looks with my mini squeal of delight, but nevermind! I had completely forgotton about this book until seeing it again, & the memories flooded back as I read the story to my daugher. The simple story will delight any child, but for me, the drawings made the book. A must!!
Delight to my grandchildren - By: BeeReader, 25 Sep 2008 I have read this book to my 3 grandchildren time & again & still they are not tired of it - aged 5yrs & 2yrs - the 5year old having heard it since he was 2yrs 'pretends' not to be listening as his brother & cousin have it read to them but he's definitely paying attention!!
The ridiculousness (if that is a word) of the story is lovable & causes many smiles & OH'S - for some reason the scene of mess left behind always brings an Ooh & Ahh as Mummy has to clean up. The favourite picture is tiger pouring the tea down him from the pot!
a great tradition yet quirky book - By: Ms. A. M. Hawkins, 07 Jul 2008 my two sons aged 3 & a half & aged 15 months both sitin awe of this book! there is a traditional feel with the mummy making this fantasic tea which she is happy to share with this stranger at the door - a tiger! then there is the crazy element that you would let a tiger into your house - the tiger never roars at all & amazingly my very vocal boys never roar when they see himin this book as he is a friendly tiger.
this book is simply great, a must have for parents & children.
Classic title - By: Humpty Dumpty, 26 May 2008 My little daughter loved this at bedtime. The moral - that which appears on the outside to be frightening & threatening need not be so upon examination - is such an important one for children to appreciate; an antidote to the prevailing scare culture where middle-class children are increasingly driven everywherein a vehicle & kept from playing out on the street & taught to shun strangers.
A gentle, warm story with ditto illustrations. Magic!
BRILL BOOK - By: Mehajabeen Farid, 01 May 2008 One day, there was a knock at the door of Sophie's house, just as she & her mummy were going to have tea, but the milkman had already come & it was not the day for the boy from the grocer; it could not be daddy because he was coming home a little bit later & he had his keys. Who was the mysterious being at the door? Find outin this book...
This book is wonderful: the illustrations are vivid & bright; the vocabulary range is good for children aged from 4 - 7 & the story line is delightful. It is a truly superb book.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book with my brother (who enjoyed it as well) & would rate it, for myself & on behalf of my brother, 10/ 10.
