Daryl was engaging, funny, and motivating to our readers and writers
Shannon Coombs / Principal
Yerington Elementary School
Yerington, Nevada
I highly recommend that you bring Daryl Cobb to your community to help your students see the importance and relevance of their own reading and writing goals. Kids were excited in the days leading up to Daryl's visit and they were not disappointed! Daryl was engaging, funny, and motivating to our readers and writers of all ages and stages, as he read his own writing, sang songs with our students, and gave tips on writing. Students left the assemblies excited about the Family Night presentation with Daryl, and Daryl hit a home run again as he blended his two presentations into a new third presentation that also magically engaged adults. Again, I highly recommend Daryl Cobb.

Daryl Cobb’s author visit-assemblies were above and beyond anything I expected. Having been a school librarian for 26 years, I have hosted 20 plus author visits. Daryl gave Maple West Elementary School 3 of the BEST author visit-assemblies I have ever had the pleasure of presenting. Halfway through the visit, I'm thinking, how am I ever going to find another author who's this much fun. From the beginning to the end of Daryl Cobb’s author visit, students were actively engaged in listening to Daryl’s life stories, singing along with his songs, laughing and watching in awe of this wonderfully energetic author, dramatic storyteller, and musician. To say Daryl Cobb was captivating is simply an understatement. He actually knocked this author visit right out of the ballpark.
What an electrifying experience

What an electrifying experience it was to host Daryl Cobb at our school. From the moment the students stepped into the auditorium they were greeted with a song which filled the air with excitement and anticipation. Mr. Cobb's energy was infectious, immediately drawing in the audience and setting the stage for an assembly. He had a genuine connection with the students. Mr. Cobb engaged the audience by asking inviting questions and sharing personal anecdotes, and forging meaningful connections with readers of all ages. We loved having him at our school!!

We had a wonderful day with Mr. Cobb! The three assemblies were grade appropriate and kept all the students engaged. The students enjoyed participating by chorally singing with and responding to Mr. Cobb. His mix of music and storytelling had them laughing, gasping and entertained the entire time. The teachers loved his message of success starts with reading and writing. I would highly recommend these assemblies. You won’t be disappointed.
It didn’t matter what age group he worked WITH; every moment was magical.

Daryl’s ability to connect with, engage and guide students through the journey of writing was phenomenal. Our students were enthralled from the moment they entered by Daryl’s guitar playing and singing. The music and visuals were wonderful. It didn’t matter what age group he worked with, every moment was magical. Daryl’s presentation was playful, fun, and educational and every teacher and student loved it!
I was very impressed with how Daryl personalized each presentation...
Jessica Meredith / Literacy Teacher
Folger McKinsey Elementary School
Severna Park, Maryland
Daryl Cobb provided incredible assemblies for our elementary school. He was easy to work with and very clear throughout the planning process. We asked Daryl to do three presentations for us (Kindergarten & First Grade), (Grades 2-3), and (Grades 4-5). We also shared that we would like the writing process to be emphasized.
I was very impressed with how Daryl personalized each presentation for the grade level and kept all students (and adults) engaged. The teachers were beaming with how many great ideas they had for follow-up lessons, and the students were eager to go practice being writers.
Mr. Cobb also stayed for a lunch with students. The students that earned this reward were engaged and felt like they were eating lunch with a celebrity. Thank you for helping our students participate in this amazing experience.

This fall, Daryl put on great, interactive, exciting programs for my students from kindergarten all the way through 5th grade. He had the kids on the edge of their seats and fully engaged with his combination of interactive music and attention-grabbing storytelling! He was incredibly easy to work with as far as scheduling and planning all the details of the visit. Daryl brought all his own equipment and handled the setup like the pro he is. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for an elementary author visit!

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. His assembles were more than just book readings – it was an interactive, multi-sensory adventure that transported kids into the worlds of his stories. Mr. Cobb's impact went beyond the entertainment. He subtly wove powerful messages about the importance of reading, imagination, and kindness into his performance. He encouraged the children to embrace their own creativity and to see the world through the lens of wonder.

Daryl Cobb’s presentations were beyond exceptional. With outstanding crowd control and the ability to keep students on the edge of their seats while taking about the writing process, I am positive that he made a lasting impression on our students, and teachers. I loved when I looked across the room to the teachers as they were nodding in agreement with what he was saying. Having someone come into your school that you don’t know can create a bit of anxiety. You can be sure that students, teachers, and administrators will be thanking you for having Daryl come to your school, and you too will be shouting from the mountain tops, “If you want an author visit, Daryl Cobb is phenomenal!!!”
The programs were everything I expected and more.

Daryl’s assemblies were amazing! The programs were everything I expected and more. His use of song, movement, and storytelling was engaging from the moment our students entered until the moment they left. Each and every student, and some staff, participated during the program. Daryl was able to seamlessly make adjustments during the programs to cater to the age group. Highly recommend Daryl Cobb!
Not to forget the school book that is a lasting reminder of a very special day.
staff (Said) he was by far the best Author presentation they had ever seen!

After witnessing many Author Visit assemblies, at two different schools, Mr. Cobb was a pleasant surprise! It actually wasn't what I expected. Instead, it well exceeded my expectations and was one of the best presentations I have seen to date. His constant interaction with the kids, through his music and storytelling, kept both the students and faculty engaged the entire time. His ability to slightly change his content, based on the age group he was catering to, was spot on. We had tons of comments from the staff that he was by far the best Author presentation they had ever seen as well! We now look forward to welcoming Mr. Cobb to our sister school (Ramtown Elementary) in 2020.
This was definitely a 5-Star event!

I sat through all four performances and enjoyed each one and frankly the assemblies exceeded my expectations on so many levels. Imagine performances that can equally captivate audiences from kindergarten through 8th grade and you will have the experience that our students were treated to during Daryl Cobb's phenomenal visit to our school. His shows were fast paced, entertaining, interactive, and just plain fun. The shows also carried messages appropriate to various age groups -- be it the writing process, bullying, or following your dreams with persistence. This was definitely a 5-Star event!
Daryl’s storytelling, along with his musical talents, came together to produce exceptional programs.

Daryl’s knack for storytelling, along with his musical talents, came together to produce exceptional programs for our students! Presenters often do not differentiate enough when performing for different age groups. Daryl did a nice job of catering to our K-2 and 3-5 students. The information was appropriate for each age group and his message was delivered with passion and enthusiasm, and his high energy helped keep the audience captivated and engaged. I highly recommend Daryl Cobb’s assemblies to any school looking to share and cultivate the joy of writing with their students.
He was engaging, inspiring and seeing the kid's expressions were priceless.

This definitely was not the assembly that I expected, it was so much better. Seeing other author visits, Daryl seriously surprised me and the staff for the better. He was engaging, inspiring and seeing the kid's expressions were priceless. Just speaking to the kids afterwards and them telling me how much they wanted to pick up Daryl's books to read was so uplifting. Getting the kids to want to read was my main objective and Daryl helped make that possible!!!
Some of the strengths of his assemblies was the fact that everything was interactive, and everyone participated, whether it was a song or during "the reader's theater". Daryl sang and read his books aloud with the help of the audience. But he didn't just read a book to them; he actually acted out the books. He was able to keep the kids focused because they were part of the assembly (not just watching and listening). I think that is the reason why the teachers loved it so much as well.
Daryl was engaging and inspiring to all the grade levels. He was funny when he had to be. He was serious when he needed to make a point. He referenced how some books came from real life experiences and how the students could actually use their experiences to start writing themselves. The kids don’t realize it yet but they definitely learned something while having fun.
I have had teachers of every grade level come to me and say, "Thank you for finding such an awesome author". All my years at this school, I've never had such a response.
His assemblies are well worth the investment. I highly recommend Daryl.
Chris Tigue - Principal
St. Nicholas-St. Mary Elementary School

Daryl uses a combination of music and storytelling to keep the students engaged throughout the entire assembly. His positive message is on point, and he gives valuable insight into the writing process. Daryl’s interactions with the students, his willingness to get the children involved-- as well as his use of music and storytelling are his strengths. He presented three lively assemblies to our various age groups (PK through 8th grade) and the information presented during each show varied and was appropriate for each age grouping. Daryl’s communication before the show is terrific and he is very flexible with the school’s needs.
His assemblies are well worth the investment. If you are looking to host an author at your school, I highly recommend Daryl.
He has the gift of reaching students in any grade!

Daryl Cobb was professional, prepared and enthusiastic He kept the engagement of our students and teachers from the beginning right to the end of the assembly. He had a great blend of song, humor and storytelling. I think both the students and the teachers were drawn to the dramatic telling of the stories. He made the books come alive for them. It was humorous at times and serious when it needed to be. The presentation was great. Kids were excited to go back to their rooms and write. We liked how he added in his own learning challenges. It was relatable for so many of our friends. He made the whole process from booking him to the assembly set up and book orders, super easy.

Daryl has a unique way of connecting with students of all ages through his live interactive performances. His music was great and getting students to participate as a whole group really worked. The students and teachers were captivated by his energy and enthusiasm. Daryl focused on the writing process as he shared the importance of word choice, special moments, rewriting, and revising. His presentations engaged and inspired students. I think the kids were able to grasp the writing process a little better. They are still talking about their special day. We would highly recommend Daryl!

I really like the way he was able to grab the student's attention right from the start with the singing and music as they entered. The editing/revising part of the show had the potential to be slow; however, Daryl kept the pace going by turning it into something fun and funny that the students could relate to. The interactive programs were filled with stories, music and silliness! The students are still laughing about some of the things they saw that day, and so am I!"

As a former primary classroom teacher and Reading Specialist, I would highly recommend an assembly presented by Daryl Cobb. His presentation was extremely interactive, fun and motivating. All of this, while presenting very important information for our young readers and writer’s. His enthusiasm was contagious, and the students were willing to participate during the presentation. We loved how he brought his stories to life (acting out the books) and the singing was very captivating for the primary students. Mr. Cobb is a talented performer, and he was extremely easy to work with to schedule this wonderful day at our school! The school book is certainly a keepsake that will remind us of what a wonderful Author’s Day we had!"

I sat through the assembly 3 times, and I thought each time was great. The personal stories that Daryl told really captured the students’ attention.

The teachers, staff, and students all enjoyed the programs, which also tied in a positive message of resiliency to go along with the writing focus. The storytelling was very engaging, and the kids could relate the topics Daryl was sharing. In between combined grade level assembly programs, Daryl committed much of his time to visit classrooms and share his experiences as a writer with small groups of students. His only focus throughout the day was to share his passion for writing with as many students as possible – students of all backgrounds and abilities will connect with his personal story."

Each show was appropriate to the age group (K-2 and 3-5).

The activities within the assemblies were age appropriate and varied, very humorous, fun music, involving students and teachers…the writing and editing examples where very effective and the students really got involved in the process. Because he has written 17 books to date, I felt that he had something to share with all grade levels from K to 5. He also made the book ordering process easy and painless. One of my favorite parts of the day was the way Mr. Cobb interacted with third, fourth, and fifth graders during his six classroom visits. I would definitely recommend a visit from Daryl Cobb!!!
