Having eagerly devoured Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and From Here to Eternity, I had to pick up Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?. I did not expect it to be catered more toward the middle-grade reader than Doughty's previous work (although the illustrations were wonderfully evocative without being overly frightening, they comprised about half of the book), but perhaps that failing falls more on my side than the book's. I did enjoy the short ride—it was entertaining to see the unhinged questions kids have come up with and to learn a few things along the way, and a pleasure to see Doughty respond with her trademark enthusiasm and wit without any hint of talking down to her ostensibly young reader. I'm glad this book exists to help kids sate their curiosity about death, and to continue to break down the taboos associated therewith.
4.5 stars. Entertaining writing and I actually learned a lot from this book!

I don’t love rating nonfiction but if you read the description and this appeals to you you will very likely love it. The artwork throughout is fantastic. I learned something and reading it wasn’t weird or gross. Very attainable nonfiction!

Very light-hearted and informative answers from a mortician about FAQs regarding death. I really enjoyed this, and it's a great nonfiction book to read between novels.
