 * Goodnight Moon:

Goodnight Moon is a C-class article. Overall, the article is strong in many ways, but there definitely is room for improvement. The lead section could include a few more details, such as a brief description of what the book is about. Additionally, there is no real background section that includes information about how the book came to be. There is a "Publication history" section that discusses the background of the book's publication, but it does not include much information about the author's motivation or background regarding writing the story, so this could be added. The "Synopsis" section of the article is very short, and I believe that more depth can be added to the summary of the book. For example, as one user on the "Talk" page mentions, the illustrations in Goodnight Moon are very important to the story, so a synopsis on the illustrations in the book could be added, separate from the current synopsis section. The "Literary significance and reception" section could also be broken into two sections, one that hits on the literary significance and goes into more analysis of the book (for example, the 3 articles below could be used), and a second section that goes into more detail on the reception of the book. I especially believe the "Literary significance" section could include a lot more analysis on the book, regarding the division of this section. Finally, there is a section at the bottom of the page that includes information on the "Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Program," which I am not sure is entirely relevant to the article.

 * How the Grinch Stole Christmas

How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a Start-class article. One spot for improvement in this article is that the "Background and publication history" section can be separated into two sections. These are two critical parts of the Wikipedia article that are deserving of their own sections, and doing so will allow for going into more detail in each section. The "Plot" section can also be improved, and according to the "Talk" page, the current plot summary may even be from the TV special, and not the book (I would need to re-read the book in order to verify this). The biggest gap in this article is the "Analysis" section, which could definitely be improved. From looking at other articles (for example, the three mentioned below), there is further analysis that can be included, such as the Biblical imagery that is present and the importance of sound in the book.

Option 3
Llama Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney This book is notable and deserving of a Wikipedia page because it is Anna Dwedney's first book, and it is the first book in the Llama Llama series. There is currently a Wikipedia page for the Llama Llama series, but not one for this specific book, which I think is deserving of its own page due to its notability. This book has several articles written about it, including how children have engaged in unique ways with reading this specific book, as well as other connections to pop culture.

Option 4
Just us Women by Jeannette Caines This book is notable and deserving of a Wikipedia page because it is a Reading Rainbow book, and it is a great example of literature written by an African American author that provides young African American readers with a book where they can relate to the people and places in the book. These ideas are touched on by the articles linked below, further showing the notability of this book.
