[LM_NET] Excellent Author Visit in Wisconsin

[Bonnie Rae <bonnier@MCPASD.K12.WI.US>]

Wisconsin author Jerry Apps ( http://www.jerryapps.com/)  came to speak at
my school. He did six great presentations!-- K-2 & 3-5. The kids were
engaged, and the teachers loved his thoughts about the writing process. He
spoke about his life on the farm and his experiences in a one room school.
 He has two picture books "Get Rutabagas" and "Stormy" and other longer
books listed below:

The land still lives.

One-room country schools : history and recollections from Wisconsin

Mills of Wisconsin and the Midwest      es      Best Sellers    Organizations

Ringlingville USA : the stupendous story of seven siblings and their
stunning circus success

The back porch and other stories
-
Barns of Wisconsin

Sherry (crm2720@bn.com ) from Barnes and Noble in Madison, Wis.  was very
helpful in securing Jerry as a speaker and acquiring his autographed books
for students who wanted to purchase them.
