Robin's comment led me to wonder... who are the other authors
(besides Kevin Henkes) who are using their characters to create unique board books? (rather than having titles like Goodnight Moon revised into a board book format). David Shannon's doing it with his David character.

And are there authors who are primarily known for writing board books?
