Original artwork for 'The Tiger Who Came To Tea' by Judith Kerr

What would happen if a tiger came for tea at your house? Judith Kerr’s anthropomorphised tiger character does just that. In the story, the tiger doesn’t wear clothes, but it can speak and sit at a dining table, eating tea with the human members of the household.
