What reading level is When the World Was Young book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
'' Perhaps the sermons were too long there, too ; I do not know ; but the little boy used to look up at the great chandelier, which swayed gently, out-in, out-in, all through the service. When he grew to be a man, experi- ments were being made with clock weights or pendulums. He remembered the old chan- delier. ' I will make something which will move as regularly as the cathedral chande- lier,' he thought. So he made the pendulum — a long shaft with a heavy weight at the end of it.
86 WHEN THE ...WORLD WAS YOUNG '' As you look at the pendulum of our old clock, with its long shaft, and heavy, round weight, can you see any resemblance to Gali- leo's chandelier? And as you hear its tick- tock, tick-tock, can you see the chandelier's regular swing, out-in, out-in? Some day, when we go to Europe, we shall see many famous clocks, some of them hundreds of years old.
''But listen! It seems to me I hear some- thing saying, ' Bed-time ! Bed-time ! ' It sounds like our old clock's voice, I declare." The children laughingly bade Uncle George " Pleasant dreams," and went upstairs, saying, '' Good-night, good-night," to the music of the Pendulum Band.
