Now a new generation can enjoy this classic picture book with beautiful flocked soft-to-touch tiger illustrations throughout. The doorbell rings just as Sophie and her mummy are sitting down to tea. Who could it possibly be? What they certainly don't expect to see at the door is a big furry, stripy tiger!

All artwork has been re-originated and a fresh design approach has been used for this reformatted edition with furry soft-to-touch flocking on every tiger illustration.
