What reading level is Under the Sun book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now if her cub had been a camel or a rhinoceros her , pride would have been justified by the' exceptional char- acter of her performance ; or if her offspring had been a hippopotamus or a giraffe, we might have accepted such complacenc}^ as not unnatural under the circumstances.
But what are the facts of the case ? Or if again it had been even a lion rampant, with its tongue out, or a green lion, or a spotted one, we might have understood the tawn}" mother's exultation. As it was, her hauteur w...as surely misplaced. A lioness gives birth to a cub and it turns out a lion — voila tout ! Yet she was pleased on this account to snub the prolific insect who addressed her, as if she herself had done something out of the common, rare and worth talking about. As a matter of fact, after all, it was onl3' an ordinary, everj^-day lion. Moreover, it would have been quite within the grasshopper's right to retort, "A lion? Nonsense. It is only a cat — a kitten. I can hear it mewing." For the baby lion is faintly brindled, like the most ordinary of pussies, and mews precisely like the kitten in the nurser}^ Nevertheless, the artificial (or supernatural) lion dif- fers in man}^ valuable respects from the natural animal.
