Book Reviews of The Indian in the Cupboard
Book Review: A stunning imaginative journey
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is fascinating in many regards. One, it's got magic: a real, true, amazing bit of magic. Two, it explores the friendship between two kids, complete with the sudden I-hate-yous and all. Three, it presents children with some thought-provoking scenarios. Should the children continue to make people until everybody has a wife, etc, or should the children return all the people to plastic after they've witnessed the real emotions and personalities of those people. The book asks deep moral questions in a way that kids can handle.
This would be a great book to read aloud. It's got enough action and a fast-paced storyline that kids would just love to hear you read it.
Book Review: Imagination of toys turning real!!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I like this book called "The Indian in the Cupboard" by author Lynne Reid Banks & Brock Cole illustrated this book.At first, Omri didn't want the indian toy for his birthday from his friend Patrick. Then when he puts the toys in the cupboard Little Bear the indian comes alive & turns real.
I like this book because of a toy cowboy & his name was Boone.
Patrick could not believe Boone really shot him & it was amazing!!!!!!!
I have a cupboard made out of wood & when I put my toys in & turn the key, my toys don't turn real & I wish they would.
I would just use my imagination!!!!!!
Boone & Little Bear became friends.
This is a great book & I loved it!!!!!!!
Book Review: One of the most imaginative stories ever!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was one of my favorite books as a child. I was a little disappointed with the movie especially if it keeps people from taking the time to read the book. It is worth the read whether you are a kid or an adult. It is filled with rich imaginative imagery that was not captured by the movie. Furthermore, while the whole premise of a little Indian coming alive in a cupboard is engough to keep the story moving, this is but one of the many adventures twist which unfolds in this great story. The second book in the series is just as good but then the series tapers off a little but the first two are definately not to miss.Book Review: The Indian in the Cupboard

This book was first read to me when I was in the third grade. I just reread it thirteen years later and I got teary eyed and excited throughout the story. This book appeals to both adults and children. I think that this book opens children's minds and eyes into a world of compassion, friendship, responsibility, and magic. A lonely little boy is befriended for life by a toy figure and a wild cowboy, that are both only a few inches tall. I have never read the other books in the series, but I am now looking forward to it.Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this book.Of all the books about tiny people I've read, I like this one the best.Little Bear is comical when he tries to boss Omri around, even though Omri is 10 times his size.The two sequals to this book were all right, though I thought they weren't as good as the first.And I didn't even bother to read The Mystery of the Cupboard and The Key to the Indian; they were a bit too weird.However, I really like the first book and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
