Daryl Cobb isn't just an author; he's a whirlwind of creativity and energy that swept through our school, leaving students from grades K-5 buzzing with excitement for reading and writing.
Our younger set (K-2) was treated to a gentler, more whimsical presentation (than 3-5). Cobb's use of colorful props, storytelling and sing-alongs created a magical atmosphere that captivated even the most wiggly kindergartners. His genuine warmth and humor put even the shyest kids at ease.
How your day might look like.
The day usually starts with song: As the students enter, they will find Daryl playing the guitar and singing.
(Music is adjusted to suit grade level attending.)
"Students will be actively involved."
Daryl's ability to get all the students actively involved in his programs is fun to watch and exciting to be a part of.

Sing-a-longs / "Monkeys"
For a lot of authors Pre-K, K, and 1 can be a hard audience to keep focused. But Daryl's "Music & Storytime" program bounces along from song to song and story book to story book with so much energy, movement and activity that these little students have no time to get restless. The music is an attention grabber!
