Book Reviews of The Indian in the Cupboard
Book Review: The Indian In the Cupboard a review by Curtiss
Summary: 5 Stars
Have you ever wished your toys would come to life? In the novel Indian In The Cupboard the author Lynne Reid Banks tells us about a little boy
named Omri and his mysterious cupboard he got for his birthday. Omri then
places an Indian doll into the cupboard.
It is Omri's birthday and he gets an antique cupboard that can bring toys
to life. One of my favorite parts of the story is when Boone gets shot by one
of Little Bear's arrows when Omri, Little Bear, and Boone are watching a
movie about the old western times. In the movie the cowboys and Indians
are shooting back and forth until Little Bear gets frustrated and shoots an
arrow and it hits Boone.
Another one of my favorite parts in the book is when Omri and Little
bear and Boone are in the school . Little Bear and Boone are in a pouch
and Omri's friend has the pouch. Then Omri's friend is getting ready to
show a student Little bear and Boone. Omri and his friend then get into a fight.
If you want to see what happens to Little Bear and Omri, I would invite and encourage you to read Indian In The Cupboard.
Book Review: A great book for all ages
Summary: 5 Stars
The Indian in the Cupboard is one of more popular childrens books to be published in the 1980s. Like other great childrens' tales, this is about friendship, loyalty, love, and responsibility, and all that can go wrong if these are not balanced properly. In short, a boy named Omri is given a small wooden cabinet for a gift. He discovers that if he puts action figures into them, they come to life. Likewise, he can turn the living being back into the action figure by putting it back into the cabinet, and closing the door on it. Amazed by his newfound toy, he brings several characters to life, including his favorite, Little Bear, a 2-inch tall Native American male warrior. The adventures Omri have with Little Bear bring both happiness and joy, but they are also full of surprises and dangers, such as how to keep their secret of the cabinet safe, and keep Little Bear from getting into too much trouble. The experience matures both, especially Omri, who quickly matures and learns the simple concept of responsibilty can be quite difficult to apply. Overall a great book, and much better than the movie.
Book Review: This book is a magical return to childhood fantasies
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best read aloud books ever, Indian in the Cupboard takes us on a magical journey to childhood where fantasies seem real.
A young boy is in charge of a tiny, feisty indian whom he keeps in a special cupboard with a key that only he holds. He learns the excitement, value and caretaking responsibility of another human being. The imagination and detail draw the reader right into the story.
As a school teacher and mother, I have experienced an emotional bonding with my students and son through this book. My son, 9 at the time, put his hands over his face and said, "Mom, this is my favorite book in the whole world." I felt a surge of joy as I watched my son become hooked on reading. One student unknowingly gave Lynne Reid Banks a wonderful compliment when I attempted to show the class a sketch of a picture in the book..."No! Don't show us the pictures!", and quickly covered his face.
The descriptions and story-line of this book make it a DON'T MISS for your child's growing up years!
