Wendy Katz, 'Some uses of food in children’s literature', Children's Literature in Education, 20, 3 (1980), 192-199. Kerr invented the story after visiting a zoo with her three-year-old daughter. She said her husband Nigel Kneale was away making a film and "it felt a bit lonely and we wished somebody would come. We'd been to the zoo so it seemed reasonable for a tiger to come. We both thought they were incredibly beautiful." [4] [5] She told the story many times before making it into a book. [6] The book took a year to write and illustrate.

Yet unlike most games, the rules of taking tea are not available as they are mainly part of the English culture's "unwritten codes". 11 The unspoken nature of these rules causes problems for those who have not played the game before, as tea time presents them with a mine of social customs to carefully step around. As part of the socializing process and their induction into the culture of their nation, children have to be educated about this English practice. Children's literature is a key means by which such education happens; Carolyn Daniel views the use of food in children's literature as a way to help children “internalize all sorts of rules about food and eating", as well as about "how to perform properly in social situations". 12 The nineteenth-century poem Afternoon Tea is educative in a sense, reinforcing how to take tea correctly.
