Heidi- Illustrated Abridged Classics for Children with Practice Questions

Sent to live with a grandfather who wants nothing to do with anybody, Heidi finds that the Swiss mountains, the goats and the open air suit her completely. Her happiness lasts until she is taken to the city to keep company with an unwell girl, and the contrast between the Alps and a closed formal household gives the story its shape. This edition abridges Johanna Spyri's classic for younger readers, keeping the narrative while shortening the sentences, and adds illustrations throughout. Practice questions follow the text, which makes the volume usable for reading comprehension at home or in a classroom as well as for pleasure. Where it stands: • Abridged retelling pitched at newly independent young readers • Illustrated throughout to support early reading confidence • Practice questions included for comprehension work • Introduces a classic of children's literature without the full-length text A useful pick for primary school children, parents and teachers, available at Boipoka.
