Summary: The Indian in the Cupboard
Review: This book is about a boy named Omri, and his friends Patrick, Little Bear the Indian,and Boone a cowboy. Omri receives Little Bear as a birthday present from Patrick. He was not too excited about this little toy. He was even more excited about an old cupboard his brother gave him. He needed a key for the cupboard, and luckily Omri`s mother collected keys. The one that belonged to Omri`s Great Grandmother fit. It had a red satin ribbon attached to it. He didn`t have anything to put in the cupboard so his mother said to put in the Indian Patrick gave him. He put in the Indian and turned the key. What happens next is a secret that only you can know by reading the book. I found that I disliked Patrick very much during the book. He never thought twice about what he said,or did. For instance he was about to show Little Bear and Boone to other children, but Omri stopped him. Also I could tell Omri was a fast learner because he learned really fast that Little Bear was a real person. As Omri says it they are "real people". This means they are from their own time period, and you can`t tell them what to do. Lynne Reid Banks is great at grabbing peoples` attention by an interesting plot, and a nice book cover. Banks is also aware that people reading her books might not understand the British words so she put definitions at the beginning of the book. One of the definitions is football-the British word for soccer. Banks is not good at using descriptive language. In my opinion it is a third to fourth grade reading level book. The plot of the book was easy to follow because of the easy vocabulary. This book is great to read because it teaches a little about the Ondondaga. If you liked the "Littles" series you are sure to like this book even more. When I saw the movie of The Indian in the Cupboard after reading the book I found the book was much better. This is because it has much more detail, and more scenes. I recommend this book to any readers. If you read this book and liked it ask your librarian for the other books in the series. I hope this critique will help you choose a book to read, and enjoy.

Summary: The Indian in the Cupboard
Review: "The Indian in The Cupboard", was a great book. It was about a boy named Omri getting a toy indian as a birthday present, from his friend Patrick. He put the indian in the cupboard his brother had recently given him as his birthday present. He locked the cupboard with a key his mother gave him. The next morning when Omri woke up there was a noise inside the cupboard. You have to read this book to find out what happens next.

Summary: My favorite ever
Review: Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks was a very good book. The story is about a liitle boy, his bully for a brother and his poor mom. It was Omri's birthday and his older brother got him a little Indian action figure. He loved it and his grandmother gave him a wooden cupboard to put his Indian and all of his other action figures in it. When it was time for Omri to go to bed that night, he put all of his action figures in it and closed the cupboard. Omri didnt know he needed a key to unlock the cupboard the next day. So after school Omri asked his mom for a key and she went to her room and came back with a big bowl of keys and told him to look through it and try to find one that matched the key slot on the cupboard. Omri looked and looked and he finally found one.

Omri had a friend named Patrick, and it was Patrick who gave Omri a cowboy action figure for his birthday. Omri and Patrick went to Omri's house and put the new figure ihn the cupboard. That night Omri heard some noises in the cupboard. He walked over and opened it and all the action figures in it were going to war. Omri seperated them them all and and solved that problem, but for now it's to be continue until you read the great, amazing and interesting book.

Summary: From a 28-year-old fan
Review: When I was younger I had an idea that I was going to read all the books in the library (all the ones that looked remotely interesting, anyway). Whenever I went to the stacks I always started at the beginning of the alphabet and worked my way down from there. This is how I discovered Lloyd Alexander and Scott Corbett, and also Lynne Reid Banks. I was quite thrilled when I picked up "The Indian in the Cupboard," just from the picture on the front--I'm always looking for stories about little people (don't ask me why, it's just this thing...). I loved the book and was always pleased when a new one came out. I introduced my roommate at BYU to the series when she was taking Children's Lit. She was the one who first saw the movie trailer and told me about it. We were both so excited for the movie and both awfully disappointed. I'm glad they made it because it introduced so many more people to Banks, but the movie for me did not capture any of the magic.

Just read "The Key to the Indian." I'm curious to see if she'll do anything else now!

I have enjoyed all of her books that I've read, and was especially impressed with "One More River."

Summary: Indian in the cupboard
Review: The indian in the cupboard is a great book for 1st graders to like 4th grade. The book really makes you think about what you played with when you were a younger child. Sometimes you wished you had that special toy that would take a way all you problems and talk back to you. Ormi got that wish but then Patrick found out and kind of spills the beans about Ormis secret. There is so many possibilities for this book. I just think that all around its a very good book and would recommend it to any one of all ages.

Rating: 5 stars
