Dear Deakin Readers,In this issue you will find reviews of many new books to enjoy during the summer months, but I know this is also the season of family vacations, festivals, community pools, amusement parks, and beautiful weekend weather. With so much to see and do, I realize how difficult it can be to squeeze in some time for kids (and parents!) to curl up with a good book. If you are about to head off for a family vacation with toddlers, tweens, and teens—whether it’s a trip to a nearby city or a faraway country—I would encourage you to consider a visit to a museum, art exhibition, book fair, or gallery. Many of these venues are child-friendly and their displays encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and an interest in reading.On a recent trip to Winnipeg, Manitoba, I was reminded that many galleries and museums do a great job making their exhibitions accessible to children, offering activities and workshops designed to engage children to get the most out of their visit. Many galleries are free, such as the Pooh Gallery that I discovered in Winnipeg’s Assiniboine Park on the second floor of the Pavillion Gallery Museum, where visitors are introduced to an impressive collection of Winnie-the-Pooh books, print ephemera, toys, and art.One of the posters in the exhibition explains that Winnie, the famous bear in A.A. Milne’s stories, was named after a real bear in the London Zoo, where it was noticed and loved by Milne’s son, Christopher Robin. Of course, many adults know that the fictional adventures of a young boy named Christopher Robin and his animal playmates were chronicled in books that became favourites with children of all ages, but I presume far fewer people know the interesting story of how the real bear named Winnie ended up at the London Zoo (hint: there’s a Winnipeg connection). Visiting an exhibition like this one presents a special opportunity for us to introduce children to a variety of enchanting stories (with lots of visual aids!). Indeed, if there is one important thing we can all do for the children in our lives this summer, it would be to get them hooked on stories.Enjoy your summer!Robert Desmarais, Managing Editor

PurposeWhere tourism research related to families holidaying with young children in coastal mass tourism destination is scant, this paper aims to explore accommodation constraints and needs of European parents who holiday with young children.Design/methodology/approachFourteen in-depth interviews were conducted with parents of young children who have just completed their family vacation in the island of Sardinia, Italy by positioning the interviewer at the boarding area of the Olbia Costa Smeralda airport.FindingsThe analysis returned five key themes: location of accommodation, quality of interactions, child-friendly amenities, safety and family-oriented programmes.Originality/valueWithin these five themes, seven new attributes were identified and contribute to the current literature on accommodation preferences of parents travelling with young children. The findings also suggest that this is a distinct segment within family tourism and should not be treated homogeneously with families with older or adult children. Finally, the data highlight the distinctions between Asian and Western parents in terms of their accommodation needs.

Case Design

Purpose This study evaluated the effects of an automated, small-group intervention designed to teach preschoolers challenging vocabulary words. Previous studies have provided evidence of efficacy. In this study, we evaluated the effects of the program after doubling the number of words taught from 2 to 4 words per book. Method Seventeen preschool children listened to 1 prerecorded book per week for 9 weeks. Each storybook had embedded, interactive lessons for 4 target vocabulary words. Each lesson provided repeated exposures to words and their definitions, child-friendly contexts, and multiple opportunities for children to respond verbally to instructional prompts. Participants were asked to define the weekly targeted vocabulary before and after intervention. A repeated acquisition single-case design was used to examine the effects of the books and embedded lessons on learning of target vocabulary words. Results Treatment effects were observed for all children across many of the books. Learning of at least 2 points (i.e., 1 word) was replicated for 74.5% of 149 books tested across the 17 participants. On average, children learned to define 47% of the target vocabulary words (17 out of 36). Conclusions Results support including 4 challenging words per book, as children learned substantially more words when 4 words were taught, in comparison to previous studies. Within an iterative development process, results of the current study take us 1 step closer to creating an optimal vocabulary intervention that supports the language development of at-risk children.

Abstract. This study uses implicit voice theory to examine the influence of employees’ critical thinking and leaders’ inspirational motivation on employees’ voice behavior via voice efficacy. The results of a pretest of 302 employees using critical thinking questionnaires and a field study of 273 dyads of supervisors and their subordinates revealed that both employees’ critical thinking and leaders’ inspirational motivation had a positive effect on employees’ voice and that voice efficacy mediates the relationships among employees’ critical thinking, leaders’ inspirational motivation, and employees’ voice. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
