I loved every second of this (listened to the audiobook and highly recommend doing so because Caitlin is an awesome reader).

The author answers children's questions about death and corpses. The book is informative, but in a simple and funny way.

I really enjoyed reading this book - yes, it covers questions about corpses, bodies and morbit things, but our mortician of trust does it with loads of respect paired with the right amount of humor

So much fun and and very diverting! Some answers were not completely new to me, others were very much out there, but that was not a bad thing. Caitlin Doughty, who also narrates the audiobook perfectly (I love her voice!), answers the question in a fun, short and entertaining. Though for me, much was only answered on a surface level. But keep in mind, this book tries to do exactly back - a short introduction to death for people who are interested in that topic. I am now very much interested in her other books, maybe those will dive down a little deeper too!

I really enjoyed reading this book. This is a topic I had nearly no knowledge about. All the questions were so interesting and I have a newfound respect for morticians. Their job is really hard. Sometimes the book was a bit repetitive that’s why I don’t give it 5 stars. But well, it’s pretty close to 5. Very very interesting.
