I like the Indian in the Cupboard because the book is so amazing. For example, when Little Bear talks, he is so bossy and it sounds funny. When Patrick finds out Omri has an alive Indian and then when Omri goes down stairs, Patrick turns the cowboy into a real cowboy. Omri got really mad at Patrick because he put the cowboy in the cupboard. Omri brought the Indian and the cowboy to school. While they were at school, Little Bear poked Omri and then Patrick and Omri went to the principal's office. That's why I liked The Indian in the Cupboard.

If you want to read a good book I recommend The Indian in the Cupboard. The characters are Omri, Little Bear, Boone, and Patrick. I like the story because it's humorous. For example, when Little Bear says something like "want meat", I always laugh. Little Bear and Boone are always fighting even though they enjoy each other's company. When I read this book I didn't want to put it down and I think you wouldn't want to either.

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.

Some times they do kind of stupid stuff. I want to tell them not to but I can't. It seems so real. I don't want enything to go wrong. I don't think you can find any other book like this!

The book was an interesting read. It uses the magical, never quite explained cupboard and key to introduce some key points of American history and culture and race relations. Setting the story in England added another dimension to the story that gave the author reason to add extra explanations to Little Bear and Boone's needs.
