John Burns Author Visit Information
The Hamlin School invited John Burns and Pengey Penguin to their Annual Fund Raiser February ’08. The event hosted a marvelous book fair with most of the currently popular books from all the major publishing houses.
The three day event sold both “Pengey One” and “Pengey Two” - and had total sales of 142 -- a tidy boost of over one thousand dollars from Pengey Penguin for Financial Aid and Teacher Enrichment Programs. Wow!
Mr. Burns lives in San Francisco and plans to visit other schools in Northern California during the ’08 school year.
He will be traveling in Southern California in late Autumn of ’08. If you would like to to have John visit your school please contact us at
or call us at 415 640-2627
In all honesty it’s best to just call the office. You might even get John at his desk. We try to book him a year in advance, especially in out of California visits.
What we do is coordinate the travel time so that Mr. Burns can visit many schools in a specific geographical area and reduce his expenses of travel and lodging.
1.Cost of a visit to your school $300 to $400 depending on how many other schools we can schedule during John’s visit to your conner of the world.
2.Your school’s fund raiser will receive 40% of the proceeds from the sale of Pengey books.
3.We provide the flyer to send home with your students so that they can pre-order the books.
4.John personalizes each copy to the student.
5.We wrap each copy separately to preserve the dust cover and to make a special book even more treasured.
