The first chat is part of a new program of Online Classroom Visits held at Talk City's EduCenter every Tuesday at 1 p.m. Eastern Time. Though geared toward teachers and students, anyone is welcome to attend. To protect the chat environment for children, pre-registration is required. These chats are geared toward parents and kids, although the general public is also welcome. You must join Parent Soup in advance to participate.
Membership is free.

The series, which continues every Tuesday through December 15, is a production of Random House's Children's Media Group. The Children's Author Chat Series is free and open to the public.
