  1. Who are the publishers of these books? It used to be that a commissioning editor who thought a book on a particular subject was needed would try to find the most knowledgeable/interesting person to write it, and give them a contract to do it in a certain amount of time. Once the manuscript was completed, an in-house production editor would turn it into a bound copy - in collaboration with the author to finalise the text, and then with the collaboration of typesetter, printer, illustrator (if any), and binder. Thus, solecisms such as the ones mentioned would be filtered out - probably, if the commissioning editor was any good, before acceptance stage. Of course, with modern technology, that has all gone. But do teachers and librarians not actually read a book meant for children before putting it on the shelves?
