What reading level is The Wit of a Duck And Other Papers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No other of our wood-folk has such a facile, emotional tail asthe red squirrel. It seems as if an electric current were runningthrough it most of the time; it vibrates, it ripples, it curls, it jerks, it arches, it flattens; now it is like a plume in hiscap; now it is a cloak around his shoulders; then it is aninstrument to point and emphasize his states of emotionalexcitement; every movement of his body is seconded or reflectedin his tail. There seems to be some automatic adjustment betweenhis... tail and his vocal machinery.
The tail of the gray squirrel shows to best advantage when he isrunning over the ground in the woods--and a long, graceful, undulating line of soft silver gray the creature makes! In mypart of the country the gray squirrel is more strictly awood-dweller than the red, and has the grace and elusiveness thatbelong more especially to the sylvan creatures.
The red squirrel can play a tune and accompany himself. Underneath his strident, nasal snicker you may hear a note inanother key, much finer and shriller.
