The book is about a tiger that came to tea and ate all the food. The tiger drank all the water, beer and juice too. When Sophie‘s dad came home, they had to go out for fish and chips the next day Sophie and her mom went out shopping and bought a big tin of tiger food in case the tiger came back but he never did.

The tiger is so mean and takes all their food. It's a strange story.

I loved this book because Sophie bought the tiger a tin of tiger food but he never came back, which was a mystery.

The Daddy is my favourite character because he is silly and forgets his keys. I like the tiger too. I like the story because it’s funny when the tiger drinks all the water in the tap.

I liked that the tiger was playing goodbye on the trumpet. It was medium hard to read. I thought the tiger was so rude. I would read it again.
