They’re the perfect way to immerse children in the wonderful writing of Judith Kerr, both in school and at home.Tim Beasley-Murray, 'A wolf in Tiger's clothing: Danger, desire and pleasure in Judith Kerr's The Tiger Who Came To Tea', Children's Literature Association Quarterly, 38, 2 (2013), 205. Go to footnote reference 23. Former Children’s Laureate Michael Rosen has drawn parallels between the book and the author’s life. Kerr spent her early years in Berlin just before the start of the Third Reich and her father was on a death list because of his opposition to the Nazis. Her family fled Germany and most of their property was seized in 1933 when she was nine years old. Rosen claims the tiger could be based on her memory of the past threat: something that could have disrupted her life as a young child and taken everything the family owned. He said "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. So I don't know whether Judith did it consciously or not - I wouldn't want to go there - but the point is he's a jokey tiger, but he is a tiger." [7] Kerr, however, stated more than once that the tiger represents nothing more than a tiger, and had no relevance to her upbringing.
