I find the majority - not all, but the majority - of children's books to be too shallow and superficial to hold my interest as an adult. There are exceptions - eg I enjoy the "Narnia" books, Harry Potter, "The Dark is Rising" series, etc, but even though I collect turn of the 20th century children's books, such as Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Tom Swift, etc, I rarely read them.
