For Raskin as illustrator we list Songs of Innocence ... "music and illustrations by Ellen Raskin". Music by Raskin? The stub gives no hint that this is plausible. It is something to cover in the prose or to correct in the listing.

For Raskin as illustrator we list five titles published 1967-1969 by Doubleday, written by Razzell and Watts. I revised those listings, originally copied from the U Wisconsin bibliography [ref name=bibliog], by internet search especially at google books.
Soon I hit the short biography of Raskin (@ Google books) that is now listed under Further readings:
Ellen Raskin (Volume 579 of Twayne's United States Authors Series: Children's Literature), Marilynn Strasser Olson, Twayne Publishers, 1991; ISBN9780805776270
This book evidently credits Raskin with illustrating (a) at least one more title in the series, namely A Question of Accuracy --at least six where we list five-- and (b) first editions from 1964 --where our 1967-1969 eds. include at least some later editions.

I placed superscripts for birth and death sources in the corresponding infobox fields because neither source gives the full name that we provide in the lead, Ellen Ermingard Raskin, nor any name for her except Ellen Raskin.
Per [ref name=NYT], "She is survived by her husband, Dennis Flanagan, editor-emeritus of Scientific American; a daughter, Susan Metcalfe of New York; her mother, Margaret Shanske of Los Angeles, and a sister, Lila Fink of Santa Monica, Calif." Beside Raskin, therefore, Metcalfe may be her first husband's surname; Shanske and Fink may be her birth surname.
