The Indian in the Cupboard

This was the first time I had read this book yet I could not put it down. How could a Indian and a teen boy ever come to meet.

I read this aloud to my elementary aged kids and it is still one of their favorites.

My son's teacher read this book out loud to them at school over the course of a few weeks. He is only 6 years old but loved it! Highly recommend as a read aloud book to young children !

This book is the book which the cult classic movie is based on

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.

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.
