向き and 向け
While these two expressions seem somewhat similar, they are in fact different.

向け(grammar page) focuses on the intended audience/target for an object. In other words, when that object was made or designed, it was done so with person/group A in mind.

この 本 は 子 供 向 け だ 。 (correct)

This book is for children.
向き describes whether an object is suitable or applicable to a person/group, and may not be the original target of the object.

この 本 は 読 み や す い の で 、 初 級 者 向 き だ 。 (correct)

This book is easy to read, so it's suitable for beginners.
In this example, the book might be a Japanese children's book, but it is suitable for beginners who are studying Japanese.
