I was in high school, specifically second period math class. None of my fellow students understood what was going on, or its wider implications. The war was always 'over there' and America was the guarduan of truth and justice and freedom around the world. The cocoon of propaganda and innocence we had been sheltered in all our lives cracked as uncomfortable questions about why anyone would do this to us. How did we know it was the guys who pissed off president George W's father that were responsible, and so quickly? The childhood images of Superman and Captain America were soon replaced with American buildings on fire and troop surges into places whose names we had never had any reason to know. A few of my friends enlisted to go get some payback once they were old enough; being from western NY they thought it was the right thing to do. One stopped updating his myspace page during my first year of college.

I just read The One and Only Ruby and loved it. I just picked up The One and Only Family from the library.

My daughter LOVES Kayla Miller books and Raina Telgemeier books. She reads and rereads them all the time.

Wow are these just for 5th grade?! I was thrilled when my 6th grade math teacher let to borrow from her library if one shelf!! She was home room for another group

I also love these videos!! I'm glad you get to talk about the students again. Also, I had to unsubscribe from your channel this morning because I am being bulied. It's a long and confusing story but I didn't let them get to me for too long and subscribed back to all my favorite people on RUclips. Keep up the fantastic work and can't wait to see this series I guess we can call it, come back for another year. I'm always hoping the summer doesn't come so you can keep doing it. lol

I love these videos!

These videos are my favorite!

I retired last June from my position as a school librarian. Started many days listening to "Colby Sharp's" pep talk book videos. You helped me keep my love of picture books alive. I still love watching and learning. Instilling a love of reading in kids is the very best vocation ❤❤

i'm surprised the kitty isn't climbing in the empty box! mine love big boxes being emptied

I bought Big and loved it!

Read that with 4th and 5th graders. Great read

How I wish I could have been sitting in your classroom sharing these stories with you and your kids- magic!

Thank you! I can’t wait to share some of these wonderful books with my students!

Totally agree about the yellow bus.❤

My son LOVES the original book.

A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park and The Year of Miss Agnes by Kirkpatrick Hill 👍🏾

I just started the super teacher project I have really started to like his books the past month I just finished slugfest and the fort and the book that started it all unplugged make more Gordon Kerman vids pls

Oh yes! I used to love Babymouse as a kid. In fact, I even talked to Babymouse on character ai.

As a child growing up in rural Oklahoma accelerated reader put me leaps and bounds ahead of other children. I am now 36 and having intense love for reading due to accelerated reader I would like to get this program again and use it as an adult.

This is my next read, just (re)finished "No More Dead Dogs"

DEAR COLBY -- THIS IS SO AWESOME! I WOULD LOVE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF CONNECTING WITH YOUR STUDENTS. IS THERE AN EMAIL ADDRESS WHERE I CAN REACH YOU? YOU CAN FIND MY ADDRESS ON MY WEBSITE. HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON. SARAH WEEKS

I love this book. It made me cry at the last 2 chapters.

It’s really nice to see your enthusiasm for reading. I’m going into my second year in college for education, and I’m really excited to promote reading like you one day. You’ve been such a huge inspiration for me in your videos, thank you for doing what your doing, and I’m excited to see other videos from you this year!

Such a great pick! Have a great year!

Great pick! I love your plan.

What a great book! It's a solid choice to set the tone of acceptance in your classroom! I like how you are going to bring the story to life with listening to you and the audiobook.

I love your enthusiasm for this book and reading, Mr. Sharp! Thank you! Wishing you and your students a wonderfully enriching school year!

I loved this book when I read it!

What a fun idea to alternate reading with the audio book.

I LOVED this book. I teach K but do love reading older grade books for myself. Great pic.

Kids love that book! I've never done it as a read aloud, though. I love your idea of reading Joe's chapters and playing the audio book for Ravi's.

Mona who????

i like baby mouse ❤

Protecting wildlife crossings looks awesome ❤

Hey Mr. Sharp I will try to give you your chains book close to the beginning of the school year

I just bought this book in Skagway, Alaska and brought it come with me to Southern California. I'm in my 50's but am really loving this sweet book. Plus we have crows in our backyard that my husband feeds. :-)

Just finished this last night. It kept me up WAY past my bedtime! It was really good. I'm not thinking read aloud, more for that kid who will really get into it. Would you do this as a read aloud?

Ooh I see that Lois Lowry has a new book! She's popular with her book, Number The Stars.

I love Jason Reynolds. I need to read Asking for a Friend and the new Ponti book too

I love your videos and get so many great ideas for my 5th-6th grade school library. Have you ever thought about using a microphone when you record? Sometimes the crinkling of paper when unboxing is much louder than your voice, and we want to hear what you have to say! 😊

Preordered the undead fox of deadwood forest!

"Jewell Parker Rhodes = must read." Couldn't agree with this more! She is AMAZING. Looking forward to Soul Step.

These are amazing and very helpful suggestions; thank you! I am purchasing every single one now to read to my 5th graders this year! 🙂

Loved this video! Thanks for all the great info. I feel like you would be great at writing book studies!

I really enjoyed this video Colby! Thank you! I know someone who's kid would love Gamerville!

My son is also hoping that they come out with an 8th grade one in 2025 when he’ll also be entering 8th grade. He couldn’t get enough of Four Eyes and Pizza Face and spread it around with all his friends!

did you show the book Countdown by Deborah Wiles? I can't rmember which channel showed it but I got it from the library (not a graphic novel) and it was so good (I'm 57 and was born about 5 years after the setting of the book) I always wondered what was going on and my parents never talked about it other than kennedy later on and that was limited.

These all look amazing! Thanks for sharing.
