>The entire infantilizing concept of "books for kids" is zogged. Let small children play and just teach them critical thinking, when they're ready to take reading seriously give them classics
in a way, but you need to teach simple stories to kids, because more complex stories are often commentary on previous or more simple stories. like don't do millennial slop, where you show Shrek to kids that have never read a straightforward knight save the princess story, or tv series showing Shakespeare parodies to people that have never read or seen a Shakespeare play, you need the primordial form if you want to add commentary on top of it
though this may be solved by reading older adult books instead of kids books
