From The Tiger Who Came to Tea
Judith Kerr's first picture book, The Tiger Who Came to Tea began as a bedtime story for her own children and was published in 1968. It soon became a classic and by the time it celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2008, it had been translated into 11 languages and sold over five million copies. Alongside original artwork, notes and sketches children will enjoy stepping into Sophie's kitchen to have tea with a life-size tiger.
