Scary Stories for Young Foxes

  • ... that while writing Scary Stories for Young Foxes, Christian McKay Heidicker, under his agent's advise, "added a snuggle for every snarl"? Source: Christian McKay Heidicker's Newbery Honor Acceptance Speech. Event occurs at 2:46.

Improved to Good Article status by Isabelle Belato (talk). Self-nominated at 03:02, 21 August 2021 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is a recent GA, long enough and sourced. No copyvio on Earwig. Hooks are cited and interesting. The only problem with ALT2 is that the source (and others I found online) seems to indicate that the book was intended as a homage, rather than a retelling of the Berenstain Bears, so the hook should be tweaked. Other than that it looks great! Once qpq has been provided this nom should be good to go. BuySomeApples (talk) 05:17, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

@Isabelle Belato: Thank you for adding the qpq and tweaking the alt hook! You're right I meant ALT1 (sorry about that hehe). This nom looks all ready now. BuySomeApples (talk) 01:47, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
