I'm Asian (I have a white wife) and thought it was cute. Good moral messages about God and family, so I'll be sure to read this classic to my children.

I'm 6' and come from a decent family. We agree about Christianity and conservative values, and apparently I was her best pick because I'm an athletic bookworm who's read most of the Western canon.
I only read Heidi this month after having it in my backlog for about 15 years. As said in its pages, children must learn about good, but they also must learn about evil, and where Christianity teaches ideal morality, books like Heidi further show how good can be achieved from muddled situations. We all must learn to nurture our best attributes and avoid self-inflictions like incel ideology and uncultured-tier racism.

He just added the detail there to "brag" and racebait, that's what they do. It was unnecessary.

Lol no it was just to brag, but yes, it was unnecessary, aside from the fact I was going to let it bridge to discussion of anime it influenced if the conversation led there.

I just reread it after ~20 years. Still good, but it soured on me a little toward the end with its trite faux-Christian optimism and that big chunk where Peter learns to read by being threatened for each letter of the alphabet. It was really jarring to go from all the preceding moments of unexpected compassion to "lol the boy is afraid of getting hit"

Is its characterization flat? Yes.
Is its optimism sometimes cloying? Yes.
Does it have weird moments? Yes, child life is weird.
The book Peter reads from was just what German education is: Obsessed with cerebral mastery and inflicting pain on those unfit. It's strange, especially the threat of getting sent to Africa for not learning the alphabet. But teacher violence in education is universal, and it was in better taste to have an optimistic children's book indirectly depict it than establish a villanous teacher who would become a byword in the culture. Anyone who wants the latter and see teachers who enjoys suffering can read Matilda, Naruto (the Third Hokage who loves watching children die), or Battle Royale.
Children have to confront it somehow, and through fiction (and nobody gives a frick about reading so they can watch the movies) is safer than being a child student of a mudrerous child killing homosexual like Wittgenstein, or some other horrible fate. Yes, German education is fricked up, I'll be sure to inform my children of its many follies, and why my teaching methods are better.

>Any Heidi fans out there?
Obviously everyone sensible likes Heidi.
Better questions:
>Why is Heidi so appealing?
Because the Swiss Alps are a lot nicer than filthy towns, and the people who live in the Swiss Alps are a lot nicer than [REDACTED].
>The book presents goats in a positive light, but goats are scary and unpleasant. What's going on?
Swiss goats are better than other goats.
>Isn't it a bit naive to suggest that everything will come out right if people just read the Bible and learn their letters?
No. This is how things were, should be, and will be again.
>So how do we return to such a world?
We just have to [REDACTED] the [REDACTED].
>I liked Heidi. What should I read now?

It won't be that simple. Coddling the people didn't effective inoculate them against corruption. They should be given additional Bible-centered media that expands to problems in society and how to fix them, to the point even for normals it becomes almost instinct. The government should also situationally directly or indirectly prescribe their jobs and marriages.
>We just have to [REDACTED] the [REDACTED].
Realistically they will have to be collaborated with while being sidetracked by people following their names and addresses. There is no known final solution of the threat their spirit presents.

I could have lived without reading the classic children's book. IMO picture novels are more suitable entertainment for children, especially since their reading rates aren't optimized at that point, and the practice to get optimal reading speed is better done through truly instructional material. And in any case, long reading should be favored for things that actually matter learning their technical skills.
