This is a classic case of using the gross or grim to get children to engage with the educational. Decomposition is disgusting. It's also fascinating and absolutely necessary. I have to give Halls a lot of credit. The exploration is clinical and straightforward. She doesn't dwell on the grosser details. She uses technical terms and lays out the process scientifically. One might complain ti's a bit too clinical. The vocabulary could be a bit challenging.
We meet a wide variety of scavengers and the stages at which they are likely to feed on a corpse. Educational and engaging.
