5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good Book, Dumbed Down, February 6, 2003
By Paul Munson (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very good book. The author is obviously indebted to Johanna Spyri's Heidi, but in a good way. This book can be read aloud to children as young as 5, but young teenagers will also enjoy it. Be aware, though, that St. John's original text is out of print. What Moody and Scripture Union currently publish is an "updated" version--good if your child struggles with reading; but if your child is literate, get a used copy!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Can't Recommend it enough!, April 26, 2003
By Sheila Wray Gregoire (Belleville, ON, www.SheilaWrayGregoire.com) - See all my reviews
When I was 9 years old I read this book. I didn't remember much about the story, but when I saw it in a book store all the warm feelings came flooding back, and I bought it to read to my daughters.

They have so enjoyed it! Our oldest is 8, and our youngest is 5, and we've had a difficult time getting the 5-year-old to sit through "chapter books". But she was enthralled from the start, especially because of the cat and the kittens!

It's a gentle story that depicts the love of Jesus in a simple way, without forcing it. It's just part of life, exactly as it's supposed to be.

A beautiful story that I'm sure my daughters will carry with them, too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything happens for a reason!, October 16, 2000
High in the Swiss Alps, three children are playing on the grassy slopes. Annette and Lucien are neighbors and live in Swiss chalets. Lucien is just thirteen and when Annette acts angrily towards him, he takes it out on her young brother Danny. After holding a kitten over a cliff, he drops the kitten (which lands a few feet below on a ledge) and Danny goes after it.

When Danny can't be found, Annette goes looking for Lucien who thinks Danny is dead. Lucien is beside himself with guilt and turns to an old woodcarver for encouragement. He learns to carve little wooden animals which he then intends to give to Danny. Annette is quite mean and destroys his woodwork and spreads gossip about him at school.

The charm of this story is the lessons the children learn. Will Annette learn to forgive or will bitterness consume her? This story has a sad beginning and an uplifting ending. The story has some surprises and we also find out who the old woodcarver really is. Both he and Lucien tell each other their secrets and in doing so, help to heal the lives of three families. There is also a movie distributed by Institute in Basic Life Principles which I would also recommend for children. As you read you can imagine the bell-jingling horses and sleighs in the winter.
