No no. I have the highest respect for Holzhauer and what he's achieved.I believe 100% when he says he used children's books to help prepare for Jeopardy.
The image just came to my mind of a grown man sitting in the children's section of a library, in a elementary sized chair and desk. How ridiculous it must look. It thought seems funny to me.
Of course, it's an insider joke. I'm sure non gamblers or people unfamiliar with James wouldn't get it. But it is supposed to be a memorial for a poker player.
