What reading level is The Riverside Natural History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The bill is greenish with orange-red tip. Dr. Alfred E. Brehm writes thus of it in his journal : " This bird, especially seeking the presence of men, confidingly perches on the tops of those peculiar, round, wedge-shaped straw huts of the interior of Africa, adorned with eggs of the ostrich, and here called ' tokahl ; ' the dweller in the hut rejoices in these ' birds of blessing, ' as he calls them, and protects them from foreign disturbance ; in fact, he offers the same perfect hospitality to... every bird which estab- lishes its nest near his dwelling. In the storks' nests the chattering host of house- sparrows build their nests ; on the lower bushes, at hardly man's height, are seen many old nests of turtle-doves. I sent my servant Aali, in spite of his opposition, up the trees to fetch me down eggs of the storks. He brought me many, three or four from each nest. The Arabs raised a cry of murder, that we disturbed their holy birds, ' simbere, ' and invoked the curse and punishment of heaven upon Aali and myself, which brought him quite to rage and despair.
