Word/Author Association: Children's book

What are the first ten names that come into your mind when someone mentions children's book authors. This is close to juvenile fiction, but younger.

Who do you think of?

I'll post the first ten that pop into my head in a separate post so that I don't influence your associations.

1. A. A. Milne
2. Dr. Seuss
3. . . .

I'm hopeless (my only excuse is that children's books are far in the past for me). Most of the ones I can think of are juvenile fiction.
