I saw this last spring and thought it would appeal to kids, but as it turns out, more adults than kids get a kick out of it! It's a You Tube video created by some high school students from North Little Rock High School. Actors/Singers: Holly H., Caitlin S., Aaron H., Quinn G., Wyndham W. Editor and Videographer: Joe C. Its purpose is to promote reading so the kids at NLRHS can become proficient and graduate. It's a parody of a Black Eyed Peas song. This one is called "My Books" and it was originally posted in December of 2006. I showed it to some kids last year. They were amused, but thought it was pretty lame. Not so with the adults who have seen it. Take 3 minutes to watch it and see what you think. Click the arrow in the middle of the video box to play it:

About Me

- Having gone back to school nearly every fall since 1955 either as a student, teacher or library media specialist, I find myself somewhere entirely new: in the unchartered land of the retired. I'm hoping this blog will help me find my legs. Well I guess someone else's legs would be better considering....

Thanks for the good idea! I will put the You Tube video on that I showed someone called "Ma and Pa Kettle Math." It is fabulous to explain the logic of how a student thinnks. It also is extremely funny. Try it.

This is one of my all-time favorite videos and I'm so glad you shared it with us! I've shown it to kids and they do seem to get a kick out of it. I'm impressed with the creativity of the students who produced it.
I think this is funny, too. Even tho I wouldn't have known it was based on a song. I'm old.
