I think you should look at the web site above. It is a list of authors who
have their own web sites. You could contact each one (or assign kids to)
thru e-mail and ask for permission to contact them by mail.
Some author sites: =A7 The Official Ronald Dahl Website:
http://www.roalddahl.com/index3.htm =A7 Author Yellow Pages:

Douglas Florian- author, poet, illustrator (Summersaulkts, Laugheteria,
Mammambilia)
147-42 Village Road

Toni Buzzeo, author of the Sea Chest and Dawdle Duck may do that
>for you. (Sea Chest was a Caldecott Honor book this year, I believe).
>You can contact her at tonibuzzeo@tonibuzzeo.com.
We just had Donna Jo Napoli at our school and I'd bet she'd be willing to do
this. I have her e-mail address:
dnapolil@swarthmore.edu
Tedd Arnold is a great author to write! He responds to what the kids ask
and makes the kids feel special. When he wrote my 2nd grade class last year,
it helped them see he is a "real" person. He emailed me this address:

Do you have access to the monthly magazine "School Library Media
Activities Monthly?" If so, you will find that they feature authors whose
birthdays occur in that current month. Along with the author's birthday,
they frequently provide snail mail addresses and/or website addresses for
more information. You could probably get a pretty good list going by using
this last years' worth of SLMAM. HTH.
