What reading level is The First book of Plants book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
61 GICARTI NA CRUST LICHEN A PLANT PARTNERSHIP The next time you take a walk in the country, look for flat, gray-green crusts clinging tightly to rocks. They are lichens (pronounced li'-kens), some of the world's most interesting plants and the only ones that can grow on bare rock.
A lichen is not one plant, but two. It is a part- nership of algae and fungi, which, joined together, make a third kind of plant not like either of its two members. These algae and fungi partners have a fine arrangem...ent. They divide their work, and each has something to give the other.
This is how a rock lichen is made: The fungus part forms its usual threadlike network. By mak- ing a weak acid, its threads can break down hard rock, and anchor there. The top of the rock lichen is crusty, and made of fungus threads, also. In be- tween, all through the fungus network, grow little one-celled algae. They take in carbon dioxide and moisture from the air. With their chlorophyll, they can manufacture food enough for themselves and for their fungus partner.
