Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?: Big Questions from Tiny Mortals about Death by Caitlin Doughty
sklus's review against another edition
5.0
So, this is a book about death. And while everyone around me knows that I have an interesting relationship with death (read that as I find "death culture" fascinating), I fully recognize that not everyone has this relationship with death and dying. So if you do not, this book is probably not for you. While I think acknowledging death is a healthy part of life, this book covers some of the TMI parts of death that perhaps not every person needs to know. But if you have an interesting relationship with death and like well-written scientific books about it, then I cannot recommend this book (or any book or media made by Caitlin Doughty). Kids ask the best questions, and on the topic of death that's no different. I too would like to know what happens if someone dies on a plane or in outer space! And now I know (and you can too!).

Super interesting information but it was soooo jokey jokey (the same jokes) that it was hard to get through.

Not as great as Doughty’s first two books, but still interesting!

A very good book in the genre. The book is informative and thought-provoking but the material is delivered in a humourous and digestible way.
The author is knowledgeable and clearly enjoys sharing her passions and interests with others.
This book also reads very well as an audiobook.

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.
