Um, I haven't gotten very far yet, but so far, I've posted about Maurice Sendak, E. B. White, Mo Willems, Lois Lowry, Dr. Seuss, Madeleine L'Engle, and Eric Carle. The only non-American so far is J. K. Rowling, on top of the chapter books, so clearly it's an American-heavy list. http://sonderbooks.com/blog/?cat=223 Well, you already did your poll, and that’s why I’m compiling the top authors and illustrators!

We own fifteen of her fiction titles as well as her biography, Jackie Daydream. I can't keep her books on the shelves!

And I've read 3 of Alan Garner's books and they're very good. And Enid Blyton is very popular in countries associated with England. One of our volunteers grew up in Canada and she said that all girls read Enid Blyton back in the day. But the only Jackie Wilson this American ever heard of sang "Lonely Teardrops."

Also Judy Blume. I'm not even a huge Judy Blume fan, but she certainly belongs on such a list. What they said (Kristi’s answers were the first that came to my mind, too). Also Judy Blume.
