Sheila Gallagher: Ms. Doughty takes children's questions about death, dead bodies, and the afterlife and answers them.

I laughed so much as I read this. She has a way with words. The questions are interesting as are the answers. She uses a lot of sources as well as her own experiences. She also documents what sources she uses. Nothing was off the table here. I liked the whole book but the question and answer about astronauts was really interesting and something I'll remember. But all the questions and answers were fascinating from cremation to making jewelry to our pets and other animals.

This is worth reading. It is fun and informative. Not boring in any way. Plus the illustrations are great.

Me: Then this is the book for you! At times I felt guilty for laughing, but then you realize you have to laugh... It's a dark topic and the author handles it with lots of humor while giving you useful/interesting info. Great book!

Sara W.: The dark approach to the "death theme" is softened in this book by the easy and open questions of little ones, with some very funny but at the same time informative answers from cool Caitlin! Just buy it! Go...now!

Stephanie: Caitlin writes the same way she speaks; she is sarcastic, genuine, and well informed. The book makes you feel like you are watching one of her videos, or even better, sitting down for a coffee with her.

For me this was not a book you would necessarily read from front to back, but rather it was something I read in short but highly interesting busts. It actually turned out to be a social activity. Every time my friends came over someone would inevitably pick up the book and read a question out loud to the group. Lots of “that’s so gross” and “what would you do in that situation?” often followed. The book started many healthy conversations about death, which I’d like to think was one of Caitlin’s goals when she created it.
