If by "good tube amp tone" you mean tube distortion, I'd say...not really. A Champ's about as small a tube amp as you're going to come across, and unless your kids are really sound sleepers or you've got good soundproofing, it's too loud to crank, and that's only 6W into an 8".
I've got about the smallest tube amp ever made--the ZVex NanoAmp which is a half-watt, and even into a small speaker, it's pretty loud when you get into break-up territory. For my money, at true home volumes, you're better off with pedals or a headphone amp. I've never heard an attenuator that sounded great at bedroom volume.
