Heidi - Review From a Boys Perspective

 

This month my boys and I read Heidi by Johanna Spyri.  Heidi is the classic tale of a young orphan that is brought to live in the mountains with her grandfather whom she has never met.  Heidi and her beloved mountains show that love and time can heal a multitude of wounds.   The book focuses almost completely on the fairer sex, so I wondered what my sons had thought of it. 

 

Did you like Heidi?  Both agreed - "Yes it was actually pretty good!"

 

What did you like about it?  

      Perry said-"I liked Peter and when Clara learned to walk."

 

Did you have a favorite part? 

     Buzz said- "Yes, I liked when Uncle Alp turned nice!"

 

What was the funniest part?

      Perry said- "I didn't really think it was funny." 

      Buzz  said- "I thought it was funny when Grannie thought they were going to take Heidi back to the city."

 

What was the scariest part? Both agreed -  "It was scary when Heidi was "the ghost""

 

Would you recommend this book to a friend?  Both agreed - "Yes, it was kinda cool."

 

So there you have it...looks like Heidi is not just a girl's book afterall!  :)
