Yes I would recommend this book it is a fiction book and I liked the part at the end with the tiger blowing the trumpet saying good bye goodbye it’s like a song.

My favourite character is Sophie. If that tiger came to my house, ID be so surprised I recommend a tiger to someone else. If I wanted to, I'd be so surprised if is that it happened because because then I'd be so surprised with that. And then maybe he ll come again, and then I placed the tiger through to another tiger and go in the jungle, maybe.

I like the little girl called Sophie.

The tiger is so hungry, he drinks all of the drink and eats all the food on the table.

My mummy read me this book at night time and I liked reacting to when the tiger was being naughty and eating all of the little girls food. This book was also my mum's favourite growing up

I liked when the tiger had eaten everything

07 Jul 2025

The character I liked best was the tiger. The tiger comes for tea and he asks for more and more food and didn’t realise he had actually eaten all the food in the whole house. They went shopping and bought a big can of tiger food just incase he came to there house again so he would have something to eat this time but her never did.

I want the tiger to come to my house.

I have read this book so many times to my own children and children at my teaching placements. I have used this book as a fictional story as well as talking about the value of sharing and family, and of building friendships. This book never gets old!

A classic, one that a lot of younger kids seem to enjoy and love to talk about and see. As well as the reader there are a lot of opportunities for voices.
