Mr. Ken's Information Literacy Week Game!

J. R.R. Tolkien's fantasy fiction novel THE HOBBIT is the favorite book of this teacher?

• Mr. Eric

• Mr. Matt

• Mr. Ken

• Mr. Tristan

Answer explanation

This book is Mr. Meagher's favorite because: Reading expands your mind. Aristotle said, "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." When you read, you entertain thoughts and ideas in your head. You might accept them or not but, by exposing your mind to new ideas and theories, you're expanding your mind. This becomes more important the older you get. The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien did this for me as a child and continues to do so as an adult. It fuels my imagination and creativity. It expands my mind!
