Heidi by Johanna Spyri
3.0

This was the first chapter book I read to my 4yo and 6yo. It had beautiful descriptions of the landscape and Heidi’s big feelings, etc., but it maybe was a bit verbose for my littles. They hung in there and never complained, even asking for it at times, but I’m not sure how much they were able to comprehend. That said, I think it was a good discipline for them to sit and listen, and they did enjoy it. It was a happy experience. As for me, I wondered things like how Clara went to the bathroom when she visited Heidi, and how Peter was given a letter from Grandmamma in the village to deliver the same morning when he lived halfway up the mountain himself. And what happened to Heidi’s aunt?
