Our view
“Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?” answers children’s questions about death and corpses in a way readers find both very funny and informative. Caitlin Doughty, a mortician, takes the fear out of the subject without dodging the facts, and her humour is what readers single out most often. Some note that the details turn gruesome, and some praise the illustrations. At 240 pages it wastes no time.
