What reading level is Astronomy From a Dipper book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Some of the stars are rather faint, but the dipper can be made out. The Little Bear also has a long tail formed by the handle of its dipper, and Polaris is at the extreme end. As the end of the tail is fixed and the bear is swung around by it daily, possibly this accounts for its length. A few thousand years ago Polaris was not the pole star, nor will he be a few thousand years hence. Then a new and revised edition of this text book will be needed. 10 URSA MINOR PolaVts - Pole Stax Povnlreis UR...SA /YlflJOR- GREAT BEAR IV ARGTURUS SPIGA NORTHERN GROWN Look at the handle of the Dipper, and imagine a curve passing through it and prolonged about as far as the total length of the Dipper. It there will meet Arcturus, an orange-red star and one of the brightest. Continue the curve about as much farther, and it meets Spica, a pure-white first-magnitude star. Arcturus is in the constellation Bootes, The Herdsman, and Spica is in The Virgin. It is not necessary to consider now the fainter stars in these constellations.
