So I've read 'The Tiger Who Came to Tea' to all 3 of my kids countless times over the years.
..but I've always suspected something...
I've always suspected that the mum might be partial to an afternoon sherry, you can see it in her eyes..
I've always suspected that she makes the whole 'Tiger' thing up because she got pissed, fell asleep and now the house is a state...
Only SHE can see the Tiger. The Tiger is a metaphor for her own chaotic urge to drink more sherry....
Look at the dad's face as she explains what's happened, he's heard it all before..
House is a bomb site
Kid not bathed
All his beer 'drunk by a Tiger' (again)
He knows exactly what's happened and he knows he's going to have to put his coat on and take them down the cafe again.
