| Summary |
"The Tale of Benny Badger" by Arthur Scott Bailey is a children's story written in the early 20th century, part of the Sleepy-Time Tales series. This engaging narrative follows Benny Badger, a plucky and somewhat mischievous character, as he navigates life on the high plains among various animal neighbors, highlighting themes of adventure and cleverness. In the story, Benny Badger is portrayed as a skilled digger who relishes the act of burrowing, often at the expense of his smaller neighbors like ground squirrels and prairie dogs. As he interacts with other animals, particularly the cunning Mr. Coyote, Benny finds himself in amusing situations where his intentions lead to unexpected outcomes. Throughout the tale, Benny tries to pursue his daily life and hunting activities while conflicting with other animals who are wary of him due to his antics. The story culminates in Benny moving to a new neighborhood, providing a resolution that reflects on companionship, difference, and clever problem-solving, making it an entertaining read for children.
