What reading level is Ocean Wonders a Companion for the Seaside book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The eggs when first laid are about the size of grains of rice, and are arranged upon a stalk which is attached to the rock by a cement secreted by the parent, and to which each egg is sep- arately attached, like a mass of bananas on its stalk, only much more closely packed, the number being immense ; an octopus will produce in one laying from forty to fifty thou- sand. Mr. Lee describes one that he had under observation in an aquarium, which he says " would pass one of her arms beneath the hang...ing bunches of her eggs, and, dilating the membrane on each side of it into a boat-shaped hollow, would gather and hold them in; as in a trough or cradle. Then she would caress and gently rub them, occasionally turning tow- ard them the mouth of her flexible exhalent and locomotor tube, which resembles the nozzle of a hose-pipe, and direct upon them a jet of water. " The object of the syringing process was probably to free the eggs from parasites, or to prevent the growth of confervse upon them.
