Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?: Big Questions from Tiny Mortals about Death by Caitlin Doughty

funny informative inspiring relaxing fast-paced

3.5

A funny quick-paced book mainly addressed to children but suitable for adult audiences as well. I follow Caitlin Doughty on social media and her writing style is consistent with her YouTube persona, as well as her humour. Backed by scientific research (references available at the end of the book), this easy read is quite informative and promoting death positivity in a light manner. I would have appreciated it if the explanations we're a little more in-depth, it is often seeming to skim the surface, but I suppose it is because of the younger intended audience. 

Some descriptions are quite graphic and may be uncomfortable for squeamish readers (the answer to "why is grandma wrapped in plastic" being the most graphic imo).

Illustrations are cute and a nice addition to the book.
