The Scoot, Scoot Bandicoot ® Book Series for Children

Welcome to the Quenda Books website, where you'll find stories and information about bandicoots.
Quenda Books is an independent publisher formerly 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 Australian marsupial. In 2014 Quenda Books relocated to Tasmania.

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.
