What reading level is Wild Life in China Or Chats On Chinese Birds And Beasts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But when birds were plentiful it used to be by no means difficult to get distant views of pheasants feeding in the early morning or evening up-country, and then with a good glass there was ample opportunity for study without alarm.
Seen in a coloured picture or preserved in a museum, and away from its natural environment, it would s¥:.em ujtterly impossible for a male pheasant to hide himself amongst a few tufts of dead winter grass. But, as every sportsman knows to his loss, not only is hiding... possible, but it seems as easy and complete as if the earth had opened and swallowed up the quarry he is so anxious to retrieve. A little explanation will help in some small degree to show how this is. The tints of the pheasant contain red, blue, black, green, various shades of brown, and yellow. Now all these except the black and blue are to be found in the cover which the bird frequents.
The browns and yellows are plentiful enough amongst the blades of grass and straw. The reds are no less common in stalks and ground leaves, the greens fit in amongst those hardy plants which defy frost and cold alike, whilst the blacks and dark blues serve to represent the shadows and dark places between the stalks and under the leaves of the plants.
