This year, the Bandicoot Book Corner on the Junior Landcare website has been inspiring young readers to explore, discover, and care for nature — one story at a time!

From backyard biodiversity to beach adventures, the corner is packed with carefully selected children’s books that bring environmental learning to life.

One festive favourite is Little Bilby’s Aussie Bush Christmas, a delightful tale that combines fun, adventure, and Australian wildlife with a heartwarming Christmas story.

Stories like this encourage curiosity, spark creativity, and show kids how small actions can make a big difference for the environment.

Junior Landcare is so proud of the first year of the Bandicoot Book Corner and can’t wait to share even more engaging, nature-inspired reads with young eco-explorers in 2026!
