What reading level is The Pygmy Planet book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He met a curious problem in time. It is evident that time passesfaster for a small animal than for a large one, because nerve currentsrequire a shorter time in transit, and all thought and action isconsequently speeded up. It took a hundred-foot dinosaur nearly asecond to know that his tail had been pinched. A fly can get under wayin time to escape a descending swatter. The Pygmy Planet rotated in afew seconds of earth time; one of its inhabitants might have lived, aged, and died in the duratio...n of a single day in our larger world.
* * * * * So Larry found that time seemed to pass more rapidly, or rather thatthe time of the world he had left appeared to move more slowly, as headventured into smallness. He had been flying, it seemed to him, nearly an hour when he reached the level of the planet's equator.
Now it seemed a vast world, filling half the visible universe. He flewtoward it steadily, until he knew, by the fading before him of theviolet flame which now seemed to fill all space, that he was near theedge of the ray.
