Any book(s)

Buy any books you want. VS. Buy any book you want. I have seen both of them and as far as I know, the meanings of them are the same. Is it right? Or Do native English speakers use it differently in different contexts? Thank you as always and have a good day.

Thank you. Then, how about this? Any child can read the book VS. Any children can read the book. I think either way is fine. What do you think?
