What reading level is On the Seashore book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sometimes the Cormorant swims slowly along with his head under water, onthe watch for small fish. Seeing one below him, he dives like a flash, and can remain under water for some time; he wastes very little time, however, in swallowing his victim head first.
The great skill of this bird has been made use of, and tame Cormorantsare used in China to obtain fish for their masters. They have been usedin England, too, for the same purpose. A strap is placed round thebird's neck to prevent him from s...wallowing the catch. He is then set towork. After catching five or six fish he is recalled by his master, andmade to disgorge his prey, which, of course, he has swallowed as far asthe strap will permit.
The Cormorant is famous for his large appetite; he chases even big fish, of a size to choke him, you would think. Like his relative the Pelican, he owns a very elastic throat. I have seen a Pelican put a half-grownduck in its pouch, without much trouble. The Cormorant could not performthis feat, but his throat will stretch so as to allow the passage oflarge fish.
