Bandicoot Book Reviews
Scoot, Scoot Bandicoot
"When Bounce and Pounce realize Grandpa Bandicoot is unhappy they attempt to
solve his problem. Along the way the young bandicoots learn that sometimes
helping others is not a simple thing. With considerable effort, cooperation and
imagination they finally find a solution that makes Grandpa Bandicoot's life
more comfortable.
Miss Treanor has captured the spirit of little ones
trying to solve big people problems and learning about themselves in the
process. Scoot, Scoot Bandicoot is a delightful read-aloud book for early
readers." - Author, R. Toews
The Big Red Bucket
"Readers who remember local author Karen Treanor’s first children’s book,
“Scoot, Scoot Bandicoot”, will welcome the next instalment of Bounce and Pounce
in “The Big Red Bucket”.
Writing with all the considerable charm at her
disposal, Karen is writing about what she knows – the bandicoots at the bottom
of her garden.
Elegantly but simply illustrated by Katie Stewart, the
book also has an informative section on bandicoots in the wild and a page to
colour in yourself. With Christmas on its way it’s time to think of stocking
fillers."-–Swan Magazine,
Pounce's Special Friend
“Firstly, thank you so much for honouring me with the opportunity of reading
your soon to be published manuscript. (I so wish I had penned it!) Your banter
between the characters is so like that between boys and girls, friends and Mums
and Dads that it is easy to read comfortably into your story. 
Although 'stranger danger' is the main theme of this
title, you also manage to esteem mothers, honesty and courage, empathy for those
less fortunate and the acceptance of imaginary friends.
The scene when
Pounce and Mr Duck confront the snake threatening Jack captures the sense of
urgency most effectively - I found myself reading it abruptly and rapidly even
to myself .
I reckon this is the best of the bandicoot trilogy and wish
you a bonanza of sales.” --librarian, J.M.
