What reading level is The Adventures of a Grain of Dust book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Besides help- ing to keep out drafts these pebbles serve another purpose. As our ancestors, the cave-builders, barred the door with boulders to keep out bears and other unwelcome callers, so the earthworms are protected by the pebbles, to a cer- tain extent, from one of their enemies the thousand- legged worm. Because of these little forts, the earthworms can remain with more safety near the doorway and enjoy the warmth of the morning sun. (So we might have re- produced Corot's "Morning" as a k...ind of landscape the earthworm enjoys !) II. THE MIND OF THE EARTHWORM From all of which you can see the earthworm, for what small schooling he gets, is a very bright boy ! If we were as bright, according to our opportunities, we would prob- ably have answered long ago such puzzles as the question whether there is really anybody at home in Mars, how to keep stored eggs from tasting of the shell, and other great scientific problems of our day. WHERE MR. EARTHWORM KEEPS HIS BRAIN Just as we have little brains in the tips of our fingers, the earthworms have brains in the ends of their "noses.
