What reading level is Animals in Translation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How Animals Think Those pigeons that poop on the cars at the Denver airport can tell the difference between Monet and Picasso. At night they roost in a man-made concrete rookery located over the most expensive parking spots at the airport. When wealthy travelers get back from their trips they find their Land Rovers and Lexuses dribbled over with pigeon poop. For travelers, those birds are a major nuisance, like rats with feathers.
They are also potential art connoisseurs. George Page, in his boo...k Inside the Animal Mind, describes a famous experiment in which pigeons were taught to distinguish between paintings by Picasso and paintings by Monet.1 The birds learned the difference easily. A pigeon can quickly learn to peck at a painting by Picasso, instead of a painting by Monet, and vice versa. Not only that, but when the experimenters showed the birds a painting by Manet (not Monet), whose style is similar to early Picasso’s, the pigeons pecked the Manet, too. The birds make the same mistake entry-level art students do.2 Another experiment showed that pigeons who had never seen a tree in their lives, because they’d been born and raised in a lab, could easily learn to peck at a picture that contained a tree.
