What reading level is The Story of the Forest book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The men fill the sprink- ler with pails of water from some nearby lake or river. Then they drive back over the snow road through the woods. The water is turned on and soon freezes solid. It is so easy for the horses to draw large loads of logs over such hard, icy roads that in some places where the road goes down hill, straw is scattered to check the speed of the sleds. At the skidway the logs are rolled upon great sleds drawn by horses. Thirty or forty logs often make a load, and from the skid...way they go to the "yard" or "log landing" on the high bank of a river not far away. Here each log is deeply branded on one end by striking into it a heavy iron hammer which carries in raised letters the initials or private mark of the men who own the logs. The river is covered with ice from shore to shore, and the logs are left there in piles to wait for warmer weather.
The Log Drive WITH the coming of spring the river ice melts and breaks up. The water begins to rise, and the melting ice and snow make an angry flood of the once quiet stream.
