What reading level is Little Rivers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But then, if you are not in a hurry, why should you care to make haste?
The wild desire to be forever racing against old Father Time is one of the kill-joys of modern life. That ancient traveller is sure to beat you in the long run, and as long as you are trying to rival him, he will make your life a burden.
But if you will only acknowledge his superiority and profess that you do not approve of racing after all, he will settle down quietly beside you and jog along like the most companionable of... creatures. It is a pleasant pilgrimage in which the journey itself is part of the destination.
As soon as one learns to regard the horse- yacht as a sort of moving home, it appears admirable. There is no dust or smoke, no rum- ble of wheels, or shriek of whistles. You are gliding along steadily through an ever-green world ; skirting the silent hills ; passing from one side of the river to the other when the horses have to swim the current to find a good foothold on the bank. You are on the water, 125 THE BESTIGOUCHE but not at its mercy, for your craft is not dis- turbed by the heaving of rude waves, and the serene inhabitants do not say " I am sick." There is room enough to move about without falling overboard.
