I would prefer a kobo but open to other brands.

I don't understand the aversion to tablets. A PDF of The Cat in the Hat or similar picture book will look and work better on the cheapest tablet than it would on the highest end e-ink reader.
you could always set up a kid's account on the tablet and turn off internet.
For a novel, yeah, an e-reader is better suited, but not so much for comics and other image heavy books.
