Our brains simply cannot learn that many words so quickly. Add to the fact that kids aren't going to remember unusual words that you'd only find in text and not in TV/everyday speech.
By the time you're no longer a child, at 13, you know 20,000ish words out of the millions we have. Not many books will be interesting to children (considering most of them know only several to a dozen thousand).
