"Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?" is Ms. Doughty's third book on the subject of death and all the ins and outs of it. Once again she does a wonderful job of bringing a typically unmentionable subject to the forefront. In this book she ventures out a little further and answers questions posed by children, some of which are very eye-opening.
In addition to the title question she answers questions such as "Will my body sit up or speak on its own after I die?", "Can I preserve my dead body in amber like a prehistoric novel?", ""Can we give Grandma a Viking funeral?" and "Can Someone donate blood after they die?" and 29 others.
Her sense of humour in answering these questions should definitely appeal to all young readers, and I'm sure most adults will get a chuckle as well.
For the who don't know Ms. Doughty is the author of two other books entitle "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" & "From Here to Eternity" the latter of which I reviewed previously (the first came out before I started doing reviews, but I will endeavour to add it shortly). She is also the creator of the "Ask a Mortician" web series, the founder of the Order of the Good Death, and she own and runs a funeral home in the Los Angeles area.
Looking forward to her next book, with eager anticipation.
