• Imagine if a different animal came to tea. How would they behave?
• How would your family react if a tiger wanted to come to tea? 
• The author uses the words 'big', 'furry' and 'stripy' to describe the tiger. Can you think of any more adjectives?
• Imagine that you are Sophie telling your daddy about the tiger. How will you explain what happened?
• Sophie's supper was 'lovely'. Can you think of synonyms for this word?
• What do you think happened to the tiger next? Where did he go after visiting Sophie's house?
