Summary: The Indian In The Cupboard
Review: The book The Indian In The Cupboard is a book about a young boy named Omri. He gets an old wooden cupboard for his birthday from his older brother.His mother gives him a key that is very important to her because it was the last thing that her grandmother gave her before she died. Just by luck that key fit the cupboard perfectly.
The first night that he has the cupboard he puts a small little plastic Indian in it and when he opens the cupboard it comes to life. Through the book omri experiment with the cupboard by putting other things in it, like Star Wars action figures and bringing them to life.
I really like the book because it lets your imagination take over. I would recommend this book to anybody of any age. Ilike this book alot and I know that other people will like it too.

Summary: A good book
Review: This book is about a boy named Omri. He got a cupboard for his birthday and an plastic indian. He was not exitied about the indian. When he locked the indian in the cupboard with a key with a red ribbon the next morning it was alive. The indian is called Little Bear. Then Boone comes alive and Little Bear and him hate eachother. Then Patrick (the one who gave Omri the indian and makes boone come alive) wants Omri to take boone to school to give to him. Little Bear wants to go to school too. Then a disaster happens at school. After school Omri takes Little Bear to a store and he picks out a wife. You should read the book and find out the rest.

Summary: Excellent book!
Review: This was a great book and very understandable for nine year olds, like me. I reccomend that you should read the book, and then rent the movie from a video store. It's a great movie! Also, continue to read the whole series and share the adventures of Patrick, Omri, Boone, and Little Bear with the rest of your family.

Summary: The Indian in the Cupboard: One to leave on the Shelf
Review: Unlike many other reviewers, I found the Indian in the Cupboard to be a racist, misrepresentative book which was full of age old stereotypes about American Indians. Being an American Indian myself, I found Banks' portrayl of Little Bear extrememly offensive and very inaccurate. First, Banks describes Little Bear as an Iroqouis warrior so why is he befeathered? Why does he have a natural animosity towards the cowboy? And why does he so quickly adapt to the horse? All of these things are inconsistent with Little Bear's status as an Iroqouis man. I also wondered about naming a full grown man who resided in a warrior society "Little Bear"? Very doubtful that that would have been the case. Most disturbing is the objectification of Little Bear as a plastic toy, American Indians are real, not toys meant for the amusement of white children. I think that this book could be very harmful to its juvenile readers. So many kids are unaware of the realities of Native American history and life, and I think that Banks reinforces the popular negative stereotypes that our children so unfortunately fall victim too. When selecting this book, ask yourself this: if I read this book to an American Indian child, how would they feel? Would they be embarrassed or hurt? With so many excellent books about Native American people and issues out there, it is definitely sad that kids will look to Banks' book as an example of what an "Indian" is. .

Summary: The Indian in the Cupboard
Review: The story of The Indian Cupboad starts out when Omri recieves a birthday gift from his older brother. A small medicine cupboard. Who would want that? Omri. He was joyous over is new found treasure. His best friend Patrick gave Omri his birthday gift. A small second-hand plastic Indian. Of course, no one would want that, not even Omri, as he had long but outgrew playing with action figures. But then a combination of the cupboard, the plastic Indian, and a very special key reveals a world of little alive people, not toys, because toys don't have lives and a personality, but people, very much, do. This book has cliffhanging suspense and is one of the best reads I've had in a long time.

Summary: William's Review
Review: Dear Reader, I really liked how the rat got loose and it almost ate him. I also liked how he killed the old man and how the rat fell down the steps and he spun around in circles. Then he went to go to the store and the older boy slammed him into the wall. That must of been painful. I also liked how his hair looked. I laughed a lot. Your pal, Jombo william,

Summary: A Fantastic Book
Review: A boy named Homry was celebrating his birthday. Everyone was there. His friend Patric had nothing to give him so he gave him a plastic Indian. Homry didn't actually like the Indian but he still said thanks. The Indian was small and brown. He had feathers poked in his hair. He also was wearing a loincloth. Homry put the Indian in a very special cupboard. When Homry opened the cupboard the Indian came to life. They talked about one on others culture. Another time his friend Patric came over. He brought the cowboy to life. They decided to turn the Indian and the cowboy back. So the next morning they did. It was hard to say goodbye Homry and Patric still let them go. I really liked this book. I recommend this book for all ages. I liked this book because it was full of adventure. I give it five stars.
