What is the meaning behind The Tiger Who Came To Tea and is it sexist?
CLASSIC children's book The Tiger Who Came To Tea is under fire after being accused of "reinforcing gender inequality".
Judith Kerr's 1968 tale has been slammed by Rachel Adamson of publicly-funded women's charity Zero Tolerance.
Kerr and her family were eventually forced to flee Germany in 1933 when Hitler became Chancellor.
Is it sexist?
The bestselling book has been largely uncontroversial since its release in 1968, but now campaigners are claiming that it could promote "harmful gender stereotypes".
Rachel Adamson works for Zero Tolerance, a charity aimed at preventing violence against women, and says that Judith Kerr's classic is "old fashioned" in its' portrayal of women.
Speaking to BBC Radio Scotland, Adamson explained her stance: "We know that gender stereotypes are harmful and they reinforce gender inequality, and that gender inequality is the cause of violence against women and girls, such as domestic abuse, rape and sexual harassment."
Adamson also pointed out that the book's ending, which sees the father "save the day" by taking his family to a café, could be deemed "stereotypical".
She clarified that she wasn't calling for the book to be banned, but suggested that it could be used to "raise a conversation" in nurseries.
Tory MSP Meghan Gallacher for Motherwall and Wishaw responded to the controversy by arguing that "there are far better ways for this publicly funded group to go about changing attitudes" and added that "parents will be left bemused at some of these claims by Zero Tolerance."
