Welcome to the Quenda Books website, where you'll find stories and information about bandicoots.
Quenda Books is an independent publisher located in the Perth Hills, a region noted for its wildflowers, wine, walking trails and wildlife, including the southern brown bandicoot. Known as a 'quenda' in the Nyungar language, the southern brown bandicoot is a small Western Australia marsupial.
Quenda Books publishes the "Scoot, Scoot Bandicoot" ® book series by Karen Treanor. The series' purpose is to entertain and educate children, and to increase awareness and appreciation of bandicoots among the general public.
Please visit the bandicoot diary pages for entertaining short stories about bandicoots and other animals. For more resources on Australian wildlife and children's books, visit our link partners.
There are several photographs of bandicoots on our photo page, including Stumpy, the orphan baby bandicoot Karen raised to maturity. Stumpy is gone, but her baby bandicoots have grown up and now live near the Quenda Books office.
If your children enjoyed "Scoot, Scoot Bandicoot", "The Big Red Bucket", "Pounce's Special Friend",
and "Bounces Sore Tummy", they'll enjoy the newest outing for the lovable little Southern Brown
Bandicoots Bounce and Pounce.
Quenda Books also publishes books for older readers.

not to go into a spooky cellar without a light and a derringer!

Our children's books feature the lovable marsupial the bandicoot, also known as the isoodon obesulus.
