    <![CDATA[What could be better than a magic cupboard that turns small toys into living creatures? Omri's big brother has no birthday present for him, so he gives Omri an old medicine cabinet he's found. Although their mother supplies a key, the cabinet still doesn't seem like much of a present. But when an exhausted Omri dumps a plastic toy Indian into the cabinet just before falling asleep, the magic begins. Turn the key once and the toy comes alive; turn it a second time and it's an action figure again. <p> <em>The Indian in the Cupboard</em> is one of those rare books that is equally appealing to children and adults. The story of Omri and the Indian, Little Bear, is replete with subtle reminders of the responsibilities that accompany friendship and love. For kids, it's  a great yarn; for most parents, it's also a reminder that Omri's wrenching decision to send his toy back to its own world is not so different from the recognition of their children's emerging independence.   <p>  <em>The Indian in the Cupboard</em> is also available in Spanish (<em>La Llave Magica</em>.) (The publisher recommends this book for children ages 9-12, although younger kids will enjoy hearing it read aloud.)  </p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[What could be better than a magic cupboard that turns small toys into living creatures? Omri's big brother has no birthday present for him, so he gives Omri an old medicine cabinet he's found. Although their mother supplies a key, the cabinet still doesn't seem like much of a present. But when an exhausted Omri dumps a plastic toy Indian into the cabinet just before falling asleep, the magic begins. Turn the key once and the toy comes alive; turn it a second time and it's an action figure again. <p> <em>The Indian in the Cupboard</em> is one of those rare books that is equally appealing to children and adults. The story of Omri and the Indian, Little Bear, is replete with subtle reminders of the responsibilities that accompany friendship and love. For kids, it's  a great yarn; for most parents, it's also a reminder that Omri's wrenching decision to send his toy back to its own world is not so different from the recognition of their children's emerging independence.   <p>  <em>The Indian in the Cupboard</em> is also available in Spanish (<em>La Llave Magica</em>.) (The publisher recommends this book for children ages 9-12, although younger kids will enjoy hearing it read aloud.)  </p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is so good, I found it hard to hold myself back from reading ahead of my kids, but it was worth doing because we got to share the laughs and suspense together. The story is perfect for school-aged boys: plastic toys coming to life. It begins with an Indian, but later there's a cowboy and f...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63285975">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[What could be better than a magic cupboard that turns small toys into living creatures? Omri's big brother has no birthday present for him, so he gives Omri an old medicine cabinet he's found. Although their mother supplies a key, the cabinet still doesn't seem like much of a present. But when an exhausted Omri dumps a plastic toy Indian into the cabinet just before falling asleep, the magic begins. Turn the key once and the toy comes alive; turn it a second time and it's an action figure again. <p> <em>The Indian in the Cupboard</em> is one of those rare books that is equally appealing to children and adults. The story of Omri and the Indian, Little Bear, is replete with subtle reminders of the responsibilities that accompany friendship and love. For kids, it's  a great yarn; for most parents, it's also a reminder that Omri's wrenching decision to send his toy back to its own world is not so different from the recognition of their children's emerging independence.   <p>  <em>The Indian in the Cupboard</em> is also available in Spanish (<em>La Llave Magica</em>.) (The publisher recommends this book for children ages 9-12, although younger kids will enjoy hearing it read aloud.)  </p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[What could be better than a magic cupboard that turns small toys into living creatures? Omri's big brother has no birthday present for him, so he gives Omri an old medicine cabinet he's found. Although their mother supplies a key, the cabinet still doesn't seem like much of a present. But when an exhausted Omri dumps a plastic toy Indian into the cabinet just before falling asleep, the magic begins. Turn the key once and the toy comes alive; turn it a second time and it's an action figure again. <p> <em>The Indian in the Cupboard</em> is one of those rare books that is equally appealing to children and adults. The story of Omri and the Indian, Little Bear, is replete with subtle reminders of the responsibilities that accompany friendship and love. For kids, it's  a great yarn; for most parents, it's also a reminder that Omri's wrenching decision to send his toy back to its own world is not so different from the recognition of their children's emerging independence.   <p>  <em>The Indian in the Cupboard</em> is also available in Spanish (<em>La Llave Magica</em>.) (The publisher recommends this book for children ages 9-12, although younger kids will enjoy hearing it read aloud.)  </p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I reread this for book group with 3rd - 6th graders. I loved it just as much as the first time around and I've been pleased to see how many of the kids in our book group loved it and have already picked up the sequels. Some things I'd forgotten over time: how funny Boone (a.k.a. Boo-Hoo) is, the str...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44318371">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I thought that this book was really good, but it wasn't my favorite. It was a good realistic fantasy story. It had a little adventure, but it wasn't too too suspensful! I like the parts where they put into detail about how the little indian was building a longhouse out of bark, twigs, and bits of gr...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75006829">more...</a>]]></body>
