Kids are certainly curious creatures. But, when they ask about things related to death and dying, we adults tend to sidestep or sugarcoat our answers. Not Caitlin Doughty. She fields such queries with a refreshingly matter-of-fact straightforward honesty. And the answers are, more often than not, fascinating!

History, biology, chemistry, and folk lore combine in Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs. A thoroughly engrossing and enjoyable book!

(Oh, and, if you’re wondering, yes, your cat will eat your eyeballs. Eventually.)
