Welcome to our Junior Landcare Bandicoot Book Corner. The Bandicoot Cook Corner is our brand-new resource for educators to find out about inspiring and beautiful books that will encourage children to learn about Australian Nature and the environment.   

We have grouped books into topics that align with our four pillars of learning – Biodiversity, Food Production, First Nations perspectives and Waste Management. 

Know about a book that you think should be included in our reading lists? There’s no better recommendation for educators than from like-minded peers. Please submit your recommendation here.    

Why have we created the Bandicoot Book Corner? 

Research regularly shows that reading for pleasure helps young learners to become better readers and why not use their enthusiasm for Junior Landcare activities to find out more about the environment around them.    

We will regularly add new books to our online reading lists. And in our first month, who better to introduce than our very own Junior Landcare Ambassador Costa Georgiadis….. who has written his first children’s book…Costa’s Garden
