The Tale of Peter Mink
Arthur Scott Bailey
Book Overview:
Arthur Scott Bailey was author of more than forty children’s books. Bailey’s writing has been described thusly by the Newark Evening News: “Mr. Bailey centered all his plots in the animal, bird and insect worlds, weaving natural history into the stories in a way that won educator’s approval without arousing the suspicions of his young readers. He made it a habit to never ‘write down’ to children and frequently used words beyond the average juvenile vocabulary, believing that youngsters respond to the stimulus of the unfamiliar.”

"She needn't think she can make me work!" Peter said to himself. "I'll just break her old axe—that's what I'll do!" And he swung the axe with all his might at a stick of wood.
But the axe didn't break. And as forp. 22 the stick, it fell in two pieces; for Peter had split it perfectly.
He was so out of patience that he aimed a hard blow at another stick of wood. Again, he didn't hurt the axe at all. And again he split the wood exactly as Mrs. Rabbit wanted him to. But Peter never thought of that.

About a teenage runaway who becomes a homeless sociopath.
Written for children, but Peter Mink is such a slothful, dishonest creature, that perhaps it were better not to read this to children. This is more true here than in The Tale of Timothy Turtle, but I enjoyed this book better.
