"Every Child" is Australia's premier early childhood publication, aimed at anyone involved in the care and education of children from birth to eight years--in particular child care professionals, teachers, child care students and the parents of young children. Published quarterly, it contains informative and entertaining articles on such issues as early childhood curriculum, ethics, health and professional development. This issue of "Every Child" presents science, innovation and investigation as the highlighted subjects. There are so many great scientists about and so much happening in science and technology in early childhood settings. Science is often neglected--but children love it and it gets them thinking in flexible, creative ways about their world, how it is constructed, and how it functions. The "Every Child" science writers are well known for producing great science ideas and materials. They inspire teachers to think about how to strengthen their science programs and why investigating one's environment is so important. Some of this issue's feature articles are: (1) Mini-beasts and secret wildlife; (2) Co-sleeping: Sharing a bed with your baby; (3) Interactive wonders at the museum; (4) Superhero Play; and (5) Mud Pies and daisy Chains: Young Children and Nature.
