What reading level is The Story of the Sea And Seashore book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
First let us consider some of the commoner and 127 128 THE SEA AND SEASHORE more interesting species that nest either on the shore, the rocks or cliffs, or in the vicinity of the sea. The frontispiece to this chapter gives a peep at a scene I have witnessed a number of times when walking by the sea. This is a typical picture of the home life of four kinds of birds who make the seashore, more or less, their habitat. The long-legged and long-beaked bird is a curlew ; the gulls shown belong to the... Herring species ; the black-and-white bird with an orange beak is an oyster-catcher, and the dapper little brown, black, and white bird is a ringed plover. So much in explana- tion of our coloured plate No. IV.
Pride of place should perhaps be accorded to those beautiful representatives of the Tern family, whose habits are so engaging and whose fairy-like flights strongly remind one of the swift-winged swallow of our English meadows, streams, and lanes. In many respects the Terns cannot fail to strike the observer as giant swallows, their clean-cut wings, long bodies, and general flight resembling the smaller and better-known harbinger of summer in a marked degree.
