why is he doing a literary criticism of a fantasy novel meant for children and young adults?

Does a book being made for a younger audience mean it isn't appropriate for analysis? What about Alice in Wonderland? The Chronicles of Narnia? Jungle Book? If that is the case, then I'm afraid many courses at GCSE, As & A2 and degree level are null & void then. A less mature demographic doesn't take away from its literary value.
