We used the same book with our kids, and are encountering the same issue. The books that are at the proper reading level are often not appropriate from a content perspective.

I work in literacy and am aware of a number of companies that are working to develop solutions that allow teachers/parents to level up/down reading materials to address this mismatch.

Can you share some search terms / company names? I'm very interested in this as a parent
Check out Diffit, which takes URLs or text and re-levels the text and gives comprehension questions. [1]

Also check out Quill, which is a nonprofit mostly focused on writing but moving into the reading comprehension area as well. [2]

There are others as well, but it's not clear which will emerge as winners.
