What reading level is The War Tiger; Or, a Tale of the Conquest of China book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For some time they endeavored to call the atten- tion of one of these people without avail ; then, hold- ing up a copper coin and shouting, a man came to them, and soon after fetched a boatman, who, for a small sum, engaged to row them in search of a ferry- boat.
The little boat paddled through the fields, past men engaged in wild geese catching, and huge duck boats, from the sides of which, down inclined boards, hun- dreds of those birds were waddling into the fields, as industriously earning ...their living among the rice stubble as the mud fishers.
These duck keepers are a class peculiar to the Chinese. Their boats are large and roomy, with a broad board extending around the sides for a promen- ade for the birds, which are as dear to their masters as the pig is to the Irishman. The birds have the largest apartment of the floating house. In the morn- ing the ducks waddle round the promenade at their pleasure, except after the rice harvest has been gath- ered, when the boards are inclined, and they walk up and down the slope at their will ; and so well are they brought up, that, if hundreds of them are out upon a cruise, they will instantly return to the boat at their master's whistle.
