Books with title Don't Eat the Babysitter!

The Nightmare Club is not for just ANYBODY. Only the spookiest, scariest stories get told at Annie's Halloween sleepovers—and if you can't take it, well, tough! All the neighborhood kids hate Dervla, the meanest babysitter ever. She is very strict, eats spiders, and...are those horns? Only Becky has guessed Dervla's dark secret. And she becomes everybody's hero when she manages to rid the neighborhood of the demon babysitter. Don't ask how, but pssst, it just might involve vomit-colored stink bombs, an abandoned shed, and demon-food. You have been warned.

The shark that starred in Don't Eat the Teacher! is back. Here, an enthusiastic Sammy accidentally bites everything in his house. Anna, a prim and proper little fish, patiently guides and protects him and his little sister, Sophie, as he chomps down on a deck of cards, the television, and the bathtub. Luckily, the amiable babysitter is able to escape his open maw. Visual gags abound with a bust of Neptune, a WWF (Whale Wrestling Federation) bedspread, and Jaws toothpaste. A giggle-filled storytime treat!

“A Sweet Valley Twins Evil Parody”Did you read, and have a love-hate relationship with, Sweet Valley books in the mid-80s to late 90s? Do you also have an affinity for fantasy and horror? Then this parody is for you. While Mr. and Mrs. Wastefeld are on vacation in San Francisco, identical twins Jessica and Elizabeth and their brother Steven are dismayed to learn that they’ll be left with a babysitter yet again. Only this time, she’s young, pretty—and a witch!The Wastefeld kids soon discover that this is no ordinary babysitter. Piper Quintin is not only evil, she’s out to get them.How will they survive the wrath of a teenage girl with supernatural powers? The Babysitter is a bizarre horror-parody of books I used to read obsessively as a child and later realized were awful. The Babysitter combines elements of satire and horror, and is kind of meta. If any of it sounds familiar, it's inspired by a few of the actual books in the series, but I took their premises and concocted a plot of my own with original characters. This isn’t really a kid’s book. The original series were aimed at preteen girls, and this book is based on the particular series where the twins are twelve. So there’s no blatant sexuality or violence, because it follows the rules of the original series. There’s definitely some dark humor, and “magical” violence.

The fun begins when Jacob finds himself stuck with a new nanny and decides that making her quit has become his new mission. This would force his mother to come home and spend her days with him, instead. Jacob comes up with some creative ways to run her off, but nothing seems to work, leading Jacob to take things too far. Little does he realize that his mother and the nanny have teamed up in a delightful and humorous way to teach him a lesson that he won’t soon forget.
