Zoo key

  • ... that Trunkey the Elephant has been teaching kids about zoo animals for over 50 years? Source: "There are 50 year old keys which still work in modern-day storybook devices." [1]
    • ALT1:... that Zoo keys are commonly shaped like elephants, but also come as lions, bears, and gorillas? Source: "The new keys are available in lion, bear, and gorilla shapes" [2]

  • Article length and age are fine, and fact is referenced, but the hook seems confusing out of the context of the article, and should probably be clarified. Noahfgodard (talk) 20:42, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
I've added ALT1. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:53, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
Noahfgodard, are you good with ALT1? -- RoySmith (talk) 14:02, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
@RoySmith: Hi, sorry for the delay. I think my hesitation with it (and the original hook) is that it doesn't explain what a Zoo key is to someone who isn't already familiar with the concpet. Do you think you could write one that provides somewhat more background? Noahfgodard (talk) 14:23, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
Noahfgodard, added ALT2. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:29, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
ALT2 looks good to me. Noahfgodard (talk) 15:48, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
