Granted, children have been known to adore the less-than-stellar, but the fact remains that they are the primary audience for the books we are discussing. I think a case can be made for "trying out" a book to see how the (apparent) intended audience will respond.
Audience response is only one of the criteria a reviewer can use to evaluate a particular title; how much critical weight is given to that response is the decision of the individual reviewer.
