Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?: Big Questions from Tiny Mortals about Death by Caitlin Doughty
libvin96's review
4.0
A quick and great integration of answers for children with facts and cultural descriptions that are fascinating for adults. Loved the style of the drawings, too.

Very interesting. Occassionally funny, and presented facts and ideas you wouldn't think to ask. Was also a very respectful book in regards to culture and families preferred treatment of the deceased. Lost a little steam towards the end, but otherwise good and not needlessly long.

Subtitle: Big Questions from Tiny Mortals About Death (hardcover edition) /or/ And other Questions about Dead Bodies (paperback edition)
Doughty, a funeral home director, answers questions posed by kids about death, dying and funerals. She’s forthright and honest, but also sprinkles her remarks with some lighthearted banter. It’s a pretty fast read, and quite informative. One of my favorite questions: “What would happen if you swallowed a bag a popcorn just before you died and then were cremated?”
Dianne Ruz provides the illustrations. I have to say that I was not a fan of her art work.
