2.0 out of 5 stars Review of the Audiobook - Educators Beware, Mar 22 2004
By N. Madsen (Kirkland, WA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Indian in the Cupboard (Audio Cassette)
I recently purchased the audiobook of The Indian in the Cupboard for use in my classroom. I work with students who struggle with their reading and reading along with an audiobook increases student comprehension of the material. I was disappointed to discover that the author (Lynne Reid Banks) changed parts of the audio version. At first, I only noticed a few changes, such as trousers for leggings. Then I discovered that she completely changed parts of the text by doing adding descriptions and by changing Little Bear's name to Little Bull. I'm not sure why the author felt it necessary to make these changes, but it makes it difficult for students to follow along in the book when the audiobook does not follow the text word for word. If you plan to use the audiobook in an educational setting, be aware of these changes.

On the plus side, Lynne Reid Banks has a very pleasant reading voice. It is enjoyable to listen to her.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Return Of The Indian, April 7 2002
By A Customer
I hadnt read the first in this series for quite a long time so i was a bit hazy on the details. But once i started reading it i started remembering it all.It's the kind of book that you can pick up at any time and you will still be captivated and enthralled with it.
It all starts with Omri winning a writing competition that he based on his experience with Little Bull(The indian)and Boone(the cowboy).He decides that he wants to share the moment with the little indian and the cowboy. But when Omri brings the little Indian back he finds Twin Stars(Little Bull's wife)crouching over a rather solemn and ill looking LittleBull.
As it gets further into the book Omri meets up with his old friend Patrick who hed shared the secret with and who had moved away. But Patrick has tried to block out the memory of the Cupboard and the little Plastic figures. But when Omri shows him again the magic of the cupboard Patrick cannot help being caught up in the excitement.
When they bring Boone back he is still his same loud and cheeful self and Little Bull is equally pleased to be reunited with his old friend.
Patrick and Omri get into their same michief when they try to bring back more indians to help fight the war that is attacking Little Bull's Tribe.
This is the kind of book that leaves you opening keys to cupboards....

3.0 out of 5 stars The Indian in the Cupboard Review by: Shonnette, Mar 21 2002
By A Customer
The Indian in the Cupboard is a tale of a boy who gets what he thought was just a useless, thoughtless, musky, old cupboard given to him as a birthday gift. Omri just tosses it a side and puts his plastic toy Indian which he really didnï¿t like either inside and locks it up. Omri unlocks the small cupboard to find that the Indian has come to life. Stranger things begin to happen. Filled with secrets, danger,and magic, Lynne Reid Banks expresses how fantasy can seem like reality.

This book was okay. It had a nice story line to it and was filled with surprises,so that was good about it. This book was for someone whoï¿s ever felt different and loves fantasy and the cowboys and Indians theme. It was also about people learning how to get along with each other and how minor differences shouldnï¿t matter, but how society lets it. It tells how people with many differences can get together and become friends.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Indian in the Cupboard: One to leave on the Shelf
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. Read more
