"why" you can't do it is that the syntax of patterns clearly doesn't
allow document function in that position, as I think had been answered
already.

The normal idiom is to go

<xsl:apply-template select="document('Tes.xml')/*" />

then you don't need to have a second template matching /, just one matching
/books (or /readers)
