Summary: An unforgettable story for all ages
Review: The first time I read this book was about 24 years ago. I've been looking for this book to share with my children. This is such a delightful tale about the growing pains and heartaches that one town endured. This is a book you'll never want to put down. It's a timeless story for everyone.

Summary: A Very Good Book, Dumbed Down
Review: This is a very good book. The author is obviously indebted to Johanna Spyri's Heidi, but in a good way. This book can be read aloud to children as young as 5, but young teenagers will also enjoy it. Be aware, though, that St. John's original text is out of print. What Moody and Scripture Union currently publish is an "updated" version--good if your child struggles with reading; but if your child is literate, get a used copy!

Summary: Treasures in the Snow
Review: This is a wonderful, well-worn book in my personal library that I read many times growing up. Not only is this book full of moral truths, but it is also a fun glimpse into the magical world of life in the Swiss Alps. I just recently re-read it as an adult and still love it!

Summary: Terrific book
Review: Treasures of the Snow is a great book. I sat down and read it to our kids (11,8 & 5). They loved it and kept asking for "just one more chapter". It reminds me of the movie Heidi as far as the setting. The love and wisdom of the grandmother is what I pray I will attain one day. It is a touching story of sin, anger, bad choices and redemption. God used a bad situation and turned it around for great good. Gpd can and will forgive every sin, no matter how bad, if we open the door to give Him a place in our heart. I highly recommend this book!

Summary: I Can't Recommend it enough!
Review: When I was 9 years old I read this book. I didn't remember much about the story, but when I saw it in a book store all the warm feelings came flooding back, and I bought it to read to my daughters. They have so enjoyed it! Our oldest is 8, and our youngest is 5, and we've had a difficult time getting the 5-year-old to sit through "chapter books". But she was enthralled from the start, especially because of the cat and the kittens! It's a gentle story that depicts the love of Jesus in a simple way, without forcing it. It's just part of life, exactly as it's supposed to be. A beautiful story that I'm sure my daughters will carry with them, too!
