Should adults read kids' books?

Some adults (besides children's librarians!) enjoy reading all kinds children's and young adult books.  Parents share picture books, then chapter with their children, some adults learn basic information on a variety of subjects in a wide range of kid's non-fiction and others are looking for a good story.  There are even book groups where adults read kid's books--and as a result these grown-ups have gained a new respect and appreciation of what kids are dealing with today--and also of  kids' maturity, sensitivity and intelligence. 




Some parents don't want their kids to read adult books "too soon" or "before they're ready"--but how do you feel about adults reading kids' books?
