The Tiger Who Came To Tea: Judith Kerr story heads to TV

Judith Kerr

"And then, when I could read, from when I was about four up to now, I would read it to my own tiger - or to my cat Mia who is related." "That burden of responsibility is huge, but also, we weren't worried because we had Judith's help," Fielding says."She was involved right from the beginning, she was involved in the script, saw the designs, she helped choose the cast, the lyrics to the song.

Kerr later wrote a semi-autobiographical story called When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit about her experiences of Nazi Germany. As a result, many readers have suggested the tiger who comes to tea represents the Nazis, who disrupted the quiet, suburban lifestyle Judith was used to.:"Judith knows about dangerous people who come to your house and take people away. She was told as a young child that her father could be grabbed at any moment by either the Gestapo or the SS - he was in great danger.

"And that's enough, you don't have to put any deeper meaning into it. There's no sort of moralistic or developmental story arc applied."David Walliams and Tamsin Greig have both lent their voices to the project

I think unregulated food and booze is a big pull factor for kids. My little one would trash the fridge if he could, maybe not the IPAs

Looking forward to seeing this!!🐯

burning bright and it sits where it pleases

Umm, there’s nothing in the book about rain or going to the park. If you’re going to summarise the plot of the book, perhaps try reading it first...

If you haven't read it, it's about a tiger who holds a mother/daughter hostage and forces them to feed him. The tiger leaves, but the mother/daughter now have Stockholm Syndrome and romanticize what happened to them. They buy tiger food and hope for him to return. He doesn't.

Kids tend to like it.
