What reading level is The Strange Adventures of a Pebble book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Notice that six-sided crystal near the centre? Compare it with other good-sized crystals that haven't any distinctive shape. The reason for the dif- ference is that the shapeless ones have had some of their substance taken away to form the smaller crystals. The dark mass is lava. In it the big crystals formed. Then, from most of the big crystals the lava reabsorbed material, and this material later turned into little crystals the "grandchildren" of the three generations.
THE FAIRYLAND OF CHANGE... 103 SPLITTING MARBLE ROCKS IN THE QUARRY This is a scene in a marble-quarry. The men are splitting up a i2o-ton block. A writer in Scribner's Magazine, in which this illustration originally appeared, also describes the process. The wedges, carefully greased, are inserted in the drill-holes which, for a horizontal split, are neither close together nor very deep, as that is the natural plane of cleavage between the strata. Two men with sledges go down the line giving each wedge a blow not too hard.
