Every time Caitlin releases a book, I will read it.
Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? answers the death-related questions children have asked her (and adults have thought of). She has a knack for turning the thoughts of a morbid topic—death, cultural practices around the world, cremation, and the science and history that ties it all together— into an engaging, insightful and witty book, like her previous nonfiction works. Just as my previous reading experiences, I read this along with the audiobook. It’s the way to go. She’s a comedic mortician.

Grappig, interessant, goede reminder dat we allemaal doodgaan en dat veel van onze zorgen er op de lange termijn niet toe doen. Memento mori enzo.

Interesting, and written in a very “matter of fact” way, which may or may not appeal to the target audience. Would I recommend this for kids? Sure, assuming they had some level of maturity - more so because there is some sarcasm and borderline adult humour than because of the subject matter, but there’s a lot of learning here.

Funny, informative and insightful nonfiction book regarding death and its entities through the eyes of children questioning a mortician. Easy and quick read.

3.5 stars really.
This little book has in parts been hilarious to me, because the author presents some of the answers in a... fun way? Who knew that learning about this stuff and death in general could be fun :) A quick read, but I'd recommend it to anyone who has interest in these kind of questions - I am sure a lot of us do, and are either afraid to ask them out loud or to Google them.
