What reading level is Umboo the Elephant book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"We have not a very sharp sight, like the hawks or the vultures, " saidMrs. Stumptail, "so we have to depend on our noses. We can smellthings a long way off, and when you are older you will get to know thedifference between the sweet roots, under the ground, and the man-smell, which means danger.
"Tusker smelled the man-smell, even though he could not see the whiteand black hunters, and then he trumpeted through his trunk to tell usall to run away, " said Mrs. Stumptail.
Through the jungle cras...hed the herd of elephants, not going anyfaster, though, than Umboo and the other small ones could trot along. Though an elephant is very big and heavy he can move swiftly throughthe forest, and go in places where no horse could travel, for the waywould be too rough, and great vines and trees would be strung acrossthe path. Indeed there is no path, the elephants making one forthemselves, and when once a herd starts off it can hardly ever becaught by a hunter on foot.
"Do you think any of us will be shot?" asked Umboo, as he shuffledalong beside his mother.
