The explanation of logical fallacies often involves a critical reading of philosophy to reach an understanding. Ali Almossawi takes a different approach by using illustrated animals to represent the different types of logical fallacies. A stuffy walrus represents ad hominem attacks and a toucan represents straw man fallacy. The accompanying text explains each logical fallacy. The illustrations by Alejandro Giraldo are both fun and provide a proper visual representation of each fallacy’s short coming.This book is effective in its simple explanation. And it is great for both those new to this topic and anyone in need of a refresher on the topic. Read this book if you would like to gain a better understanding of how to have a reasoned and rational argument.
