As my feed for it said, 'because it's never too early to teach them how to kill orcs':

Wizards of the Coast Publishes D&D for Kids

Monster Slayers: the Heroes of Hesiod is a free PDF aimed at children 6 and up.

Daniel Donahoo says:
The publishers of Dungeons and Dragons have just launched Monster Slayers: The Heroes of Hesiod which looks like it could be a whole new line of D&D products for children age six and up. They are quick to link their product to the broad range of educational benefits including math skills, literacy, problem solving and creative thinking.

They leave out the other important skills that can be learned like how to pierce a dragons hide, why you should always let the thief open the locked box and why you should never, ever become separated from the party in a narrow dungeon.
Maybe Chaosium will get on the bandwagon and publish something similar as a Cthulhu Mythos line. :)
