What reading level is Under the Maples book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After all, there is but one swallow; the others are particular kindsthat we specify. How curious that men should ever have got the notionthat this airy, fairy creature, this playmate of the sunbeams, spendsthe winter hibernating in the mud of ponds and marshes, the bedfellow ofnewts and frogs and turtles! It is an Old-World legend, born of theblindness and superstition of earlier times. One knows that the rain ofthe rainbow may be gathered at one's feet in a mud-puddle, but thefleeting spectrum... of the bow is not a thing of life. Yet one would assoon think of digging up a rainbow in the mud as a swallow. The swallowfollows the sun, and in August is off for the equatorial regions, whereit hibernates on the wing, buried in tropical sunshine.
Well, this brilliant day is a good day for the swallows, a good day forthe haymakers, and a good day for him who sits before his open barn doorand weaves his facts and midsummer fancies into this slight literaryfabric.
VI NEAR VIEWS OF WILD LIFE The wild life around us is usually so unobtrusive and goes its own wayso quietly and furtively that we miss much of it unless we cultivate aninterest in it.
