What reading level is The Giant And Other Nonsense Verse By Albert W Smith book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was a fearful hungry cry With which, in no placating mood, The Basilisk set out for food.
With anxious haste he left the glen And sought the homes of beasts and men ; For, lacking brimstone, he could stand Most any food that came to hand. In fact he could, as you can guess, Stand anything but emptyness. For forty feet to left and right He blasted everything in sight. He spied upon a distant steep A peaceful flock of grazing sheep. He hustled up, this monster grim, For mutton was the meat for... him !
42 THE BOY AND THE BASILISK As he approached with hungry gaze, Each sheep burned up with sulphurous blaze And coming to the place he found Just piles of ashes on the ground.
Now when a monster seeking food Finds ashes, the resulting mood Is apt to be a thing to dread ; In fact he turned a fiery red.
He would have turned white hot but he Feared burning up spontaneously.
He could have raged and gnashed his jaws ; He could have scratched with all his claws ; He had a long and mighty tail, He could have lashed it like a flail.
