Word/Author Association: Children's book

[Redlass]

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. Tomie dePaolo
2. Patricia Polocco
3. A.A. Milne
4. Rev. Audrey
5. David Weisner
6. Jane Yolen
7. Dr. Seuss
8. P.D. Eastman
9. Shel Silverstein
10. Wende Devlin

Hmmm, I'm rather biased toward modern writers here, aren't I?

Marc Brown
Lynn Munsinger
Tommy DePaola (I think I spelled his name wrong)
Norman Bridwell
The "Give a Mouse a Cookie" lady
Robert Munsch
Aliki
Mary Pope Osborne



Blast! With two young kids, I ought to be better at this!

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.
