Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? (Doughty) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? is funny, dark, and at times stunningly existential, revealing not only how little we understand about death, but also how much kids can handle.
Marianne Eloise -  Guardian (UK)


There’s serious science here, but also cultural lessons in death and dying, a little history, and a touch of gruesomeness wrapped in that shroud of sharp, witty humor.
Terri Schlichenmeyer - Philadelphia Tribune


[E]very one of Doughty’s answers serves as a charming guide into something we take enormous pains to avoid.
B. David Zarley - Paste Magazine


With every ounce of straight-talking spunk one could muster for this topic, Doughty delivers a surprisingly heart-warming read.
Christy Lynch -  BookPage


[Doughty] provides answers to questions both humorous and moving, bringing tiny and full-sized mortals alike to a greater comfort with and understanding of the one transition that will happen to us all.
Anna Spydell - BookPage


[A] delightful mixture of science and humor.
Library Journal


Doughty's writing is unusually conversational in tone for a book with subjects that can be considered taboo. Not only does she manage to make it extremely informative, throughout she includes her comments with sometimes profound thoughts, real humor and a significant dose of brilliant wit.
Pamela Kramer - BookReporter


Doughty's answers are as delightful and distinctive as the questions. She blends humor with respect for the dead…. Her investigations of ritual, custom, law and science are thorough, and she doesn't shy from naming the parts of Grandma's body that might leak after she is gone.
