The Scoot, Scoot Bandicoot ® Book Series for Children
Who are we?
Quenda Books is an independent publisher of children's books by Australian author Karen
Treanor. Her books feature southern brown bandicoots, a Western Australia marsupial.
We are located in the Hills above Perth, Western Australia. The Perth Hills region is
noted for its wildflowers, wine, walking trails and wildlife, including the southern brown bandicoot.
The purpose of the “Scoot, Scoot Bandicoot” ® book series is to entertain and educate
children, and to increase awareness and appreciation of Australia's bandicoots among the general
public.
We are delighted to welcome you to our bandicoot book website. Please vist the bandicoot
diary pages for entertaining short stories of our favourite bandicoot hijinks.

We have posted a new picture of a female bandicoot with a pouch full of babies on our photo page.
You are welcome to have a peek.

For teachers and students looking for information on bandicoots or marsupials, our information page is the place to visit.
Karen’s crusade to make people more aware of bandicoots continues, as she visits libraries and schools and gives talks to children about these endearing little creatures, and also tells about the trials and tribulations of being a small publisher. She has recently given presentations at libraries in Riverton, Queens Park, Willetton and Bentley.
Librarians or teachers wanting Karen to give a talk to children should email her at Quenda Books.
