Rating: Summary: A terrific story Review: My six year old son reads easily on a 3rd - 5th grade reading level. But we have trouble finding wonderful things for him to read because so many books written for that age group include a level of intensity that's just not appropriate for a six year old. Now, don't get me wrong -- bits that my son thinks are "too scary" are usually just right for the age group for which the book was written. But it is wonderful to find great stories that aren't "too scary" that will still engage the imagination of my precocious reader.That's why we like Indian in the Cupboard so much. It's an imaginative, well-written story with interesting characters and a plot that's interesting but not "too scary." Best of all, it contains kids who aren't perfect, but still have their hearts in the right places -- and thankfully, the book isn't preachy about its morality.
Rating: Summary: This book was filled with suspense and it was really excitin Review: I did my book review on The Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks. This story was very interesting and exciting. The characters in this book are Omi a ten year old boy, who is turning 11 very soon. Patrick Omi's friend is a kind person who likes to get into things and try things that are very dangerous. Patrick wants to take the Indian that is turned to reality by putting himself in a cupboard then turning the key to school with his other cowboy friend. The last main character in this book is the Indian named ,Little Bear. He is a frisky little fellow and wants his way all the time. He shows this by wanting food that a Indian used to have back in the historical days, a real fire and a loghouse that he can fit in. The genre of this book is fiction because this could never happen in real life to a real person. This book takes place in the present . It was located in Omi's house in the summertime. The book starts on Omi's tenth birthday when he gets a cupboard from his sister Gillion. Then Omi brings the cupboard to his room with a key that fits the keyhole. He puts the key in the cupboard and when he opens it out comes a real living Indian from the ancient times. After he knows the power of the cupboard, he brings other figures alive like a cowboy. Omi and his friend Patrick, who finds out later about the cupboard, and go on adventures with the toys. For instance, when they go to their school and bring the figures with them. Towards the end of the book, Omi and the Indian say goodbye to each other, and they become blood brothers. Overall I give this book four stars because of the detail given to the main character Omi and the Indian. I suggest you read this book!
Rating: Summary: Omri and a plastic indian become magical friends. Review: I think it is a very good book. Anyone who dosen't reccommed it dosen't know what they are talking about. I like Little Bear (the indian) the best.
Rating: Summary: The Best Book I've read! Review: I'm Julie, a ten year old girl. I read this book and it's probably the best book I've ever read. It is a story about a plastic indian and cowboy that comes to life through a magical cupboard. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure.
Rating: Summary: An excellent book for use in a learning unit in grades 3-5. Review: I have used this book as a starting off point for study of Native American Culture, Geography, History, Math, Language Arts and Science, as well as for character lessons in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. The characters, the different times in history they come from, and the distances they travel through the cupboard all lend themselves to creating an excellent combined teaching unit. The story is compelling for children in these age groups (and for the adults teaching!) and this book can easily be used as a springboard for studying every subject taught in these grades. It's a fun read, too.
