Schedule
It helps me a great deal to
have a schedule of the day's events at least a week before I
arrive at your school. I know that schools have to accomodate
many regularily scheduled activities and I am therefore very
flexible.
Because of scheduling conflicts,
audiences are sometimes made up of a wide range of grade levels.
In these cases, I will present to the higher levels. The younger
students almost always want to be challenged.
My sessions are approximately
fifty minutes long, and I limit the number to four per day. If
needed, I will also make short visits to the morning and afternoon
kindergartens.
I'm always happy to autograph
books. Usually I can accomplish this between presentations and
at the end of the day. If you would like books personalized (and
if there is time) please include a post-it with the correct spelling
of the student's first name.

Reserving a Day
Please call 1-520-797-1076
to reserve a day. You are welcome to call anytime, but note that
we live in Arizona and are never on Daylight Savings Time. During
the summer months we are on Pacific Standard Time, and during
the winter months we are on Mountain Standard Time.
Once we agree on a date, you
may want to have your school send a purchase order. I will provide
an invoice in advance. Please have your payment ready the day
of my visit.
