Why choose this book
Choose it for a short read-aloud with a clear sequence, generous illustrations, and a surreal visitor who is never treated as frightening. Its everyday setting gives young children plenty to recognise even while the central event is impossible.
Reading it together
The language is direct enough for toddlers to track, while preschool children can predict what the tiger might consume next. Talking about what the family does after he leaves opens an easy conversation about hospitality, surprises, and making a new plan.
