Article title

 * Frog and Toad Together:Rated Start-class and High-importance on the Children's Literature WikiProject:There is also a start-class, high-importance article about the series as a whole

Article Evaluation

 * no background section
 * The summary is broken up into five sub-sections because the book is made up of five short stories. However, I believe this fact could be better explained in the article. Additionally, there are several mistakes in the text that has been written
 * no genre/style section
 * no analysis section
 * no publication section
 * reception section is very small, only mentioning one award that the book won
 * section about the film adaptation is also very small
 * only four sources for the article

Article title
How the Grinch Stole Christmas!: Rated Start-class, high-importance in the Children's Literature WikiProject

Article Evaluation

 * lead section does not match up with content discussed in the rest of the article
 * while the background section does seem detailed, I think I could find more credible sources for the information, as most of it currently comes from a biography.com article
 * currently, this section follows that plot summary, but I think it's supposed to come first?
 * the plot summary includes all of the main ideas but parts could be rewritten/restructured to be a little clearer; there's also a few grammatical errors
 * no section on genre/style
 * the current analysis section seems to just repeat information from the background section. there's a lot of scholarly sources that have written about the story, so I think this section could really be enhanced
 * section on the adaptations is missing several that are mentioned in the lead section
 * publication section is currently grouped in with the background section, but I think they should be separated and the publication history can be expanded
 * information about audiobooks currently under "Adaptations" should be added here
 * need to do extra research to make sure that the "Reception" section is accurate, as it currently only lists positive reviews
 * I found several academic articles that talk about the book as part of "American Christmas Tradition"--I think these should be added to the "Legacy" section
