The Perfect Book? Or Not?

I thought I had found the perfect book for Yuki's level: here.The English is simple, the chapters are short, there are lots of pictures, and, most importantly, it's interesting. It's a children's book, but I enjoyed it, so I figured a 7th-grader would as well.

I had her read chapter one today, but I don't think she liked it. I may have overestimated the level. It seems easy to me, but I think Yuki had problems understanding it. Whoops. Part of the problem was that we only had ten minutes left after we finished her homework, so I didn't have time to stop and explain things and ask her questions. I'm going to give the book one more try next week, and if it still doesn't work, I'll try another one.
