?author visits

[Deborah Cranson <debcranson@MHS.MAYNARD.K12.MA.US>]

The cultural coordinator and I are trying to set up an author visit for grades
1-3 for this year.  We have about $1200 but will need a 2 day visit to fit
everyone in.  We have many suggestions in our price range but are unfamiliar
with the authors as presenters. Would anyone out there who has had experience
with any of the following, please email me directly with any useful info.
you can give us:

   Doug Florian
   Brian Lies
   Bruce(?) Selznick
   Stephen Krensky
   Mordecai Gerstein

Also does anyone know what Kathryn Lasky and Christopher Knight charge for
school visits?

Thanks for any responses.
