There is a chap at the door jist as Sophie an her mum are sittin doon
for their tea. Wha could it be? They dinna think it's a muckle, furry,
strippit teeger -- that's for shair!
No children's bookshelf is complete without the classic The Tiger Who
Came to Tea, but what if Sophie opened the door to find a teeger that's
cam for his tea instead?
Celebrating its 50th roaring anniversary in 2018, Judith Kerr's
much-loved picture book is charmingly retold for the first time in
Scots.
Keeping all the iconic elements of the story, Scots expert Susan Rennie
gives the words a lively Scots twist -- a plate of sandwiches becomes a
'hail plate o pieces' and the big, furry, stripy tiger becomes a
'muckle, furry, strippit teeger'.
This bright and bonnie take on a childhood favorite is perfect for
reading aloud with young children.
