Rav Moshe Feinstein and the Torah Picture Book
Asked via Rav Shach whether Chinuch Atzmai should fund a picture book on the Torah, Rav Moshe Feinstein said no: children must learn to use their minds.
The sefer Aley Vradim mentions a story that took place some time ago. A mechanech came to Rav Grossbard of Chinuch Atzmai for help to cover the printing costs of a book that used pictures to illustrate a portion of Torah. Rav Grossbard asked Rav Shach for his opinion. Rav Shach wasn’t sure that he liked the idea of the sefer. He told Rav Grossbard who was anyway going to the United States the following week to ask Rav Moshe Feinstein his opinion. Rav Moshe quoted this very Tosfos Rid and said that Chinuch Atzmai should not help pay for the sefer. Children need to learn to use their minds and not have material spoon-fed to them.
