<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Our most nuanced skills for communication were lost when we lost our tails, so the story goes. </p><p>Huk and Tuk explore ways we can compensate for this loss, by telling stories ­-- <em>tales</em> -- through polyphonic listening and by entering into dialogue to create a new, deeper understanding of ourselves and the world we live in.</p><p>Doing philosophy with children inspired Maria deVenza Tillmanns to recreate the bonds of meaningful communication in the writing of this whimsical, playful story. Philosophy should make us -- children <em>and</em> adults -- re-think what we think we know and push the boundaries of accepted practices. Hopefully, it will also make us laugh about taking things too seriously.</p>
