The story of Heidi is over a hundred years old, but still is a fun read, especially for kids who like books about special grandparents. Heidi’s grandfather is reserved at first, but her cheerfulness wins him over. The two really learn how much they love each other when Heidi is taken away from him and the Alps to live in the city.
