Welcome to our Junior Landcare Bandicoot Book Corner. The Bandicoot Book 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.

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. The new Bandicoot Book Corner book of the month is:
The book introduces learners to eight fascinating common frog species, highlighting their habitats, sounds (frog calls) and other intriguing characteristics. Each frog has its own page, providing just enough information to spark curiosity while visually engaging readers with the species’ calls and fun frog facts. Extra pages focus on frog ecology, life cycles, threats to frog populations and conservation efforts.
