Parents need to know that some of the characters, fantasy violence, and suspense in A Babysitter's Guide to Monster Hunting are definitely meant to frighten. A tentacled 'shadow monster' that turns things to ash chases Kelly around a house, prompting her to jump off a second-story balcony, landing safely on a sofa below.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Violence & Scariness in your kid's entertainment guide. Killing the Guignol involves punching a potion into his heart. At one point Liz uses a newborn baby as a decoy for the Toadies (the baby is fine). Liz and Kelly fight the monsters and the Grand Guignol on multiple occasions, getting hit and thrown around, caged, hypnotized, and threatened. He also has an ally in the witch Peggy Drood, whose army of cats is said to have eaten an entire Girl Scout troop. He has kidnapped other kids too, with the help of monsters known as Toadies. Turns out their nightmares are real, and boogeyman 'The Grand Guignol' kidnaps Jacob to bring the scary creatures from his nightmares to life and 'ruin the world.' The Grand Guignol is creepy looking, with a pronged tail like a whip, limbs that stretch, cat eyes, yellowed teeth, and a scarred face, but his behavior wavers between menacing and goofy.

Lots of fantasy violence and suspense, starting with young kids believing their toys are coming to life and monsters are emerging from their closets while they sleep.
