 * Article Evaluation

 * -The tone of the article is not very professional and the plot summary makes abstractions of the text:

Option 2

 * Article title: Where the Mountain Meets the Moon :
 * Article Evaluation
 * -The most notable flaw in this article is the balance of it. The plot synopsis is incredibly lengthy and overly detailed for a Wikipedia-style summary, but the sections for reception, sequels, film, and theatrical production are no more than a few sentences. The article is rated a C class
 * -The organization of the article is also lacking some clarity, for example, "film" and "theatrical performances" could be grouped together under an "adaptations" headline and exist as subsections rather than individual sections.
 * -There is no publication information
 * -There is mention of the illustrator in the lead section, but no additional information or section on the illustrations of the book
 * -The honors the book won are only mentioned in the lead section but are not discussed anywhere else in the article:

Option 3- Not Yet an Article

 * Article title Someday (picture book by Allison McGhee):
 * Article Evaluation
 * - This is a book about having a daughter and tracks the life of the daughter growing up. The mother is the narrator, and she watches her daughter grow up and move towards various milestones in life, and eventually becomes a mother of her own
 * -It deals with change, loss, gaining, and overall the journey of motherhood as a whole
 * -The illustrations in the book are very simple and there is a lot of white space, but they are beautiful in their simplicity and help to suggest the amount of space one has to "create" in their own life

 * Article title: Judy Moody Book Series :
 * Article Evaluation

 * -There are 15 books in the series and a spin-off series, making it notable in that it likely has been widely read
 * -The series page could track the general plot of the story, as well as highlight some individual books.

(For personal reference- Bird Song and We Are the Water protectors are both "good articles" marked by Wikipedia so could be good to compare)
