I rated this so highly because I loved it -- but I can see some parents having issue with it. The whole premise is that while Maude's family loves to stand out, Maude blends in. When she asks for a goldfish for her birthday, her family gets her a tiger instead and one day when they forget to get more food for the tiger he gets hungry and goes after the family. It is implied that Maude is the only one who doesn't get eaten because she blends into the wall and the tiger doesn't see her.
