FLORIDA: ELEM: School Author Visits

[Kathy Hutton <khutton@EWOL.COM>]

Hi,
    I've been asked to see if anyone on the list--in Florida (or the southeast
region) has had a school visit from an author who resides in Florida (or
nearby).  We are interested in scheduling a visit for this year (and I know
that time is passing quickly) and want someone who would be entertaining and
informative for elementary aged kids (and, obviously, within budget).  It
seems that the administration wants an assembly (or assemblies) to target
Grades 2-5, if not the entire K-5 population.  Has anyone had a visit from a
Floridian author that was a positive experience?
    I really appreciate your suggestions/advice/warnings(!) etc.
    Thanks,
    Kathy Hutton, Library Media Specialist
