'소피'라는 아이가 엄마랑 간식을 먹고 있는데, 딩동 초인종 소리가 울린다. 문을 열어보니까 거기에는 털이 북실북실한 커다란 호랑이가 있는게 아닌가. 상냥한 소피 엄마가 빵을 권하자 배가 고팠던 호랑이는 접시째 들고 빵을 삼켜 버린다. 과자도 케이크도 우유도 몽땅.

그리고는 "간식 잘 먹었어요" 하고 얌전히 인사하고 간다. 뜻밖에 찾아온 호랑이 이야기와 어느 장면에나 나오는 맛있는 음식 이야기는 풍부한 상상력과 유쾌한 웃음을 선사한다.

The classic picture book story of Sophie and her extraordinary teatime guest has been loved by millions of children since it was first published more than fifty years ago. Now an award-winning animation!

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!

This warm and funny picture book story is perfect for reading aloud, or for small children to read to themselves time and again. First published in 1968 and never out of print, it has become a timeless classic enjoyed and beloved by generations of children.

The magic begins at teatime!
