Best-selling author and mortician Caitlin Doughty answers real questions from kids about death, dead bodies, and decomposition.
Every day, funeral director Caitlin Doughty receives dozens of questions about death. What would happen to an astronaut’s body if it were pushed out of a space shuttle? Do people poop when they die? Can Grandma have a Viking funeral?
In Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?, Doughty blends her mortician’s knowledge of the body and the intriguing history behind common misconceptions about corpses to offer factual, hilarious, and candid answers to thirty-five distinctive questions posed by her youngest fans. In her inimitable voice, Doughty details lore and science of what happens to, and inside, our bodies after we die. Why do corpses groan? What causes bodies to turn colors during decomposition? And why do hair and nails appear longer after death? Readers will learn the best soil for mummifying your body, whether you can preserve your best friend’s skull as a keepsake, and what happens when you die on a plane. Beautifully illustrated by Dianné Ruz, Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? shows us that death is science and art, and only by asking questions can we begin to embrace it.
Mortician Caitlin Doughty—host and creator of "Ask a Mortician" and the New York Times best-selling author of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes —founded The Order of the Good Death. She lives in Los Angeles, where she runs her nonprofit funeral home, Undertaking LA.

作为一个deathling, 书里的内容Mama基本上都在日常cover过了,而且书整个的基调比较低幼,给个一份感情分吧。
评分就小科普,还不错(虽然读到后面有些疲,可以考虑拿出我积灰的what if了)
评分奇奇怪怪的书,在这无聊的日子里读来倒也颇多趣味。人死之后,送到殡仪馆去,话说我从没想过,火化之后骨灰有4kg,是我现在体重的12分之一,还有人卖尸体额,真是让人汗毛倒立的,国家保护动物还会挖尸,死后还得被动物拉出来晒晒太阳????。如果没有被焚烧,埋在地底下,一不凑巧还能变成化石????
