What reading level is The Ocean book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their form is deej), but thin and somewhat flattened ; and their sides are of brilliant pearly white, like polished silver. In small companies of five or six, they usually appear and play around and beneath the ship, sometimes close to the surface, and sometimes at such a depth that the eye can but dimly discern their shadowy out- line. "When playing at an inconsiderable depth, in their turnings hither and thither, the ravs of the sun, reflected from their polished sides, as one or the other is... exposed to the light, flash out in sudden gleams, or are interrupted, in a very strilving man- ner. Night and day these interesting creatures are sporting about, apparently unsusceptible of weariness. Their motion is very rapid, when their powers are put forth, as in pursuit of the timid little Flying-fish. It is to these fishes that most of the accounts of Dolphins, v/hich we read in voyages, must be referred, as owing to some mistake of identity, not easily accounted for, the name of Dolphin has been univers- ally misapplied by our seamen to the Coiyphene, while they confound the true Dolj)hin with the Porpesse.
