Petit Four
I also read children's/young adult books as part of my job, but I think that I would read them even if I didn't have to! I love the quick pacing of the books (I can get through 3 or 4 YA novels in the same amount of time it would take me to read one of the denser adult titles) and I feel that there's more creativity and whimsy in the stories. Most of my favorite books weren't written for adults.
There are picture book authors that I LOVE (Mo Willems, Adam Rex, Bob Shea), and I'll show their books to adults, and they always love them too, even though the books are only 30 pages long. A good book is a good book is a good book, no matter who the target age group is!

Mo Willems! Yes! He's one of my new favorites with his Piggie & Elephant series of readers.
