What reading level is Our Humble Helpers Familiar Talks On the Domestic Animals book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"The palmipede, you see, is admirably protected against wet. Neither rain nor the finest drizzle can penetrate the first covering of feathers, always kept, as it is, well coated with the varnish laid on by the point of the beak. The bird can plunge into the deepest water, swim on its surface, or sleep there cradled by the waves, and the wet will not reach it. Neither will cold affect it, for under this outer cover- ing is found a second, designed for resisting in- clement weather and made of wh...at is most effica- cious for preserving the heat of the body. This un- der-clothing of aquatic birds is a down so delicate and soft that, unable to compare it with anything else, we have given it a special name, that of eider- down. In its proper place I will come back to this down. For the present let us confine ourselves to a general survey of the palmipedes, and of the duck in particular. ' ' CHAPTEE XII li I THE DUCK WILL begin with the wild duck, parent stock of our domestic duck. It is a splendid bird, at least the male, for the costume of the female is less rich, as may be remarked in all the other species.
