Writing rhyming picture books

Hi All,
I get asked about rhyming picture books all the time. While I don't write them, many people do, so I thought I'd refer you to the very best article I've ever read on writing rhyming picture books. And it so happens that it's written by my dear friend Dori Chaconas.

Her website is :

The article is called "Icing the Cake."

I'll also include the link. Enjoy!
