What Children's Books Have Changed Over the Years?

In general, children's books have changed over the years, change, change, changed. And as I was saying, they've, the changes have been very bad. When you look at the stories that kids, children, elementary school children were reading back in 19, let's say 1912, a hundred years ago. The level of vocabulary, the level of intelligence, the quality of the stories is so much higher than what children are now. You know, books for the children that same age, elementary school now, it's like diary of a wimpy kid, it kept in underpants. It's very babyish, right?"
