Option 1

 * Talking animals in fiction
 * Rated start class. Very odd list of books in the talking creatures section. It seems like the books that are referenced here are very random.

Option 2

 * Garth Williams
 * The article is rated start class. The writing is choppy and all over the place. There are a lot of quotes which are not clearly cited and could probably just be removed. There is an extensive list of his work but a lot of it is missing/not discussed in his career section.

Option 3

 * Disability in children's literature
 * Start-class article of mid-importance. The article is just one long section (i.e. not organized into subsections). I think the article should be grouped into sections based on the type of disability (physical, mental, "hidden", etc.) and I think that section should be separate from the what studies of children's literature have found. I think there should also be a section that lists recommended books with characters with disabilities.

Option 4

 * Picture book
 * Article Evaluation
 * start class. Pretty U.S. dominant. Some of the issues the talk page brings up include perhaps adding a section about adult picture books and defining what a picture book is/what qualifies as a picture book. The talk page also wants to make the history of picture books section more international. Most of the citations are fine but there is one citation that is referenced many times that seems to be missing information.
