Well, I am glad that my kid is told to get a book a week from the library. I guess the main objection I have to my own statement is that for a child young enough that they are still learning how to read, reading any sort of book that is word-based (i.e. not Where's Waldo) will probably make them a better reader, in the same way that when you are first learning how to code, writing any sort of working 10-line program will probably make you a better programmer.
