Heidi
(eAudiobook)
Description
When Heidi, a lively orphan girl, goes to live with her grandfather in a little hut high in the Alps, she soon learns to live in perfect harmony with her surroundings, leading a carefree life with her constant companion, Peter, a young goatherd. But her happiness is short-lived when she is sent to stay with a rich city family as a companion for the sick Clara. Although she becomes fond of the older girl, Heidi is terribly homesick. Will she ever be able to return to the Alps and the happiness she once knew with her friends? Johanna Spyri's touching story of the adventures of a young Swiss girl is one of the most popular children's stories ever written. Heidi's pleasure in the beauty of the Swiss mountains and her rich relationships with her friends and family are perfectly evoked in this dramatization by Bobbie Frohman and supporting cast.

Booklist Review
Spyri's classic gets a pared-down retelling in this picture-book adaptation aimed at younger audiences. The straightforward, descriptive narrative moves briskly through Heidi's arrival at Grandfather's cabin, her time with wheelchair-bound Klara in Frankfurt, her homesickness, and then her happy return to Grandfather's Swiss mountain home. The text includes many of the story's original elements, but there are some puzzling omissions; it's never mentioned that Heidi is an orphan, for example. With such a short length, the story has some abrupt transitions, including the characters' shifting attitudes and emotions, as in Grandfather's sudden change from grumpy to kind. In another scene, Peter, jealous of Klara, tosses her wheelchair off a cliff, but the action is glossed over as the story rushes to its happy ending. The colorful, soft illustrations depict Heidi in the idyllic, Alpine landscapes and upscale mansions, filled with period details. While it is certainly no substitute for the original, this slender offering is an accessible, visually appealing introduction to the classic story and its endearing, enduring main character.--Rosenfeld, Shelle Copyright 2009 Booklist
