You obviously haven't read the Book of Mormon if you assume it's a book of Biblical commentary.

It is a commentary because it's not in the supposed original language.

The point is that little children cannot have true faith in God or any religious principle, because they have no comprehension, so they must be taught. It is a bit trite when small children are taken up to "bear testimony", but it is by emulation of their parents that they biuld the foundation for their own eventual understanding and a testimony of their own.

Personally I disagree with the notion of "teaching" the child to bear testimony. When they are old enough to read and comprehend what you would call scriptures, and they find it to be "true," then bearing testimony should come naturally.
