I admit I enjoyed this book a little too much. Mortician Caitlin Doughty answers questions asked by children about death. She provides facts and humor to answer questions about keeping bones and skulls, if you swallowed unpopped popcorn before you die would it pop when you are cremated, why dead bodies get wrapped in plastic, and much more. This book answered one question I had wondered about for years (yes, I'm weird): how many calories are in the human body? (125,822 for an average sized male.) If you are really really squeamish I would pass this one by, otherwise it's worth reading.
