What reading level is Driftwood book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The clock in the hall frowned half-past four And spoke to the frivolous cane; The green umbrella wept as though She 'd just come in from the rain.
At last Miss Parasol sweetly smiled And ruffled a lacy good-bye; We never knew what became of that cane, Miss Parasol and I.
THE LAMENT OF A FEATHER WHAT a sad ending! Packed so tight we cannot hear Our shrill-throated chanticleer, Cannot see the sun's first light That used to wake him after night What a bother ! Here we are Packed like sardines in a... jar: I, who used to glint and shine In the sun, now peak and pine In a pillow. Oh, I hate it! Yes, I knew my life was fated; For the coxcomb told me so; He 's the soothsayer you must know, And he said my life would be Very dark, and you can see That every word he said was true. I tickled my hen, all feathers do If ever they get excited, and then We ruffle a laugh at the funny old hen. But dear me, those good days are o'er, I don't tickle hens or laugh any more 127 THE LAMENT OF A FEATHER In this stuffy pillow Never mind, some day I '11 scramble out and get away.
