Wonderful article at Chicken Spaghetti of Perry Nodelman's take on the specifics of creating picture books, "Thinking About Picture Books." If you are trying to create them - read this. It is absolutely illuminating. Here are some quotes:
Wonderful!
"Like sonnets, picture book texts represent the fulfillment of complex requirements, but work best when they seem simple to read and make the fulfillment seems effortless."
"...on its own, a picture book text is not completely anything yet, any more than a playscript is complete before its performance."
