Please, help me out

I am going to buy a children's book / a child's book for my kids. I think either one is fine and means the same as a kind of books in the sentence. What do you think? Thank you as always and have a good day.

No. A child's book ( correct) is a book of or for a child.

A childs' book (incorrect) would be a book of or for a childs. There is no such thing.
