The Indian in the Cupboard

De: Lynne Reid Banks

Narrado por: Lynne Reid Banks

It all started with a birthday present that Omri didn't want: a small plastic Indian that was no use to him at all. But an old wooden cupboard and a special key brought his unusual toy to life, and strange and wonderful things began to happen.

As Omri struggles to balance his real life in England with the characters of the Wild West of 18th century America, his incredible adventures are a fantasy beyond his wildest imagination.

childhood favorite for the last 25 years. I loved

I loved the vivid imagery this book painted in my mind. I was excited to share it with my own children this year.

nice

loved it such a great book we all enjoyed it and loved it great ❤️❤️♥️❤️🎉

Best story!

I really enjoyed the story. It was very creative and a joy to listen to. I actually laughed out loud sometimes.

My 7 year old loved it!

A great story for kids that doesn't involve magic, dystopian futures, or vampires! My son had very rigid tastes in stories and they do not follow what is on trend right now. But then I remembered this favorite of mine from elementary school and it was right up his alley.

A Great Listen!!

What made the experience of listening to The Indian in the Cupboard the most enjoyable?

My third grade class listened to the audio book while following along in their own books. They LOVED it! The author's British accent made the whole experience that much better! One day, I had them vote whether they wanted me to read it or listen to the audiobook and the vote was overwhelmingly against me!!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Indian in the Cupboard?

When Omri takes the "figures" to school with him, my class was hanging on every word! The author does a very good job of describing the event so that my students felt like they were there.

Have you listened to any of Lynne Reid Banks’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've not listened to any of her other books. She does a great job with this one, though.

Any additional comments?

The only reason that I gave four instead of five stars for this review is that the author was reading a slightly different version that the one we had.

Great Book Great Narration

My whole family enjoyed this book, including my husband! The author is a wonderful narrator, she adds a lot to the listening experience. The story itself is very involving and, as we were listening while traveling, my kids were quite anxious to get back in the van (a first!) to find out what happened to the characters. Just a great listen all around.

Awesome 😁

I'm in the third grade and really liked this book. There were some scary parts but it ended good. This is the British version and some words were hard to understand.

A classic

Loved it. Enjoy that the author is the narrator. A great story for all ages.
