(4) K-3 Illustrated by Maja Dusíková. The classic novel of an orphan and her grandfather who live high in the Swiss mountains is smoothly adapted. However, much charm is lost for lack of detail, and children will struggle to read even this "easier" version, so why not just read the original aloud to them? The pastoral illustrations have a gentle appeal.
