I enjoyed Heidi's sunny nature, her enthusiasm, and her love of the outdoors. I've also been to the Alps, in a place like what Spyri describes, so I enjoyed the trip back to it, even if only in my imagination. (  ) KendraRenee | Oct 14, 2009 |  This was opne of the first books I read. I absolutely adored and re-read it many times. I loved being transported to the Alps which seemed like another planet to me. Heidi chronicals the experinces of a little girl in a specific time and place, yet those experiences have universal appeal. odkins | Oct 4, 2009 | Every little girl who read this book at an early age can identify with the delightful orphan who trudges up the mountain to be rebuffed by the old grandfather, who was in time won over by her charm and kindness. She is a virtual "Pollyana" when she goes to the city to help the poor sick girl and finally brings her to the mountain for a cure. Heidi is the perfect heroine and every little girl sees herself in this role. It is a wonderful book, probably best read before the role is taken over by Shirley Temple in the movie. Do little boys ever read Heidi ? (  ) carterchristian1 | Jul 19, 2009 | I'm surprised find myself enjoying this book with its evocative descriptions of the mountainside and its layered characters. Who would have thought that a book written in 1881 could "talk" to me, 130 years later? I also wonder why no translater has been given credit in this edition (which is Aladdin, but published in 2000). (  ) fladdle | Jun 1, 2009 | I love this book. It is a beautiful piece of writing. I have always wished I could be like Heidi. She is a beautiful character with a beautiful personality. This book is about a young girl who is sent to live with her grandfather up at the top of a mountain. She is a simple girl who never complains and grows to love the mountain. Her love softens her grandfather and the other people with whom she comes in contact with throughout the book. She is a true example of a friend. mcrook | May 16, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
