My all-time favorite kid's book! I've seen three of the movies - a cartoon called "Heidi's Song," the Shirley Temple one, and a more recent one with Jane Seymour as Fraulein Rottenmeier. I think the last one was the most faithful to the book, but the cartoon version had some great songs! Well, they were great when I was a kid. :) The Shirley Temple version just made me upset - too much running around at the end and she was a little too pouty for Heidi. Meanwhile, Heidi was supposed to have black hair, and all of the Heidi's I've seen are blond! I guess short black curly hair doesn't fit Hollywood's view of a little Swiss maid. The Alps is one of my other top-ten destination places.
