What reading level is The Bird book book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
87 Like the swimmer he advances by a series of undulations, a long incline upward (Fig. 19) when his wings press the air, a little drop downward as he raises them to get them in position once more. But the bird's stroke is different from the swim- mer's. As soon as his wings are at their highest point, they begin to turn forward and downward with a strong, even sweep that lifts the body and carries it ahead.
The air is driven backward less by the direction in which the wing is moved than by the... curvature of the under surface, by its general shape, and by the rotary motion at the shoulder joint. When it is necessary to recover for the next stroke, see by the picture how neatly it is done. The wing bends at the joint, leaving only half as great a resisting surface, the Fig. 19. Gulls Flying — 50 Images per Second. (After Marey.) (The line shows the centre of gravity in succiessive positions.) secondaries roll on edge, removing still more pressure; the body drops a little by its own weight, and up flies the wing into place so quickly that the camera can get but two pictures, though it takes four of the descending stroke.
