shicklin 's review for:
The Indian in the Cupboard
by Lynne Reid Banks
Classic Book
The Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks is considered a classic because it has timeless themes that appeal to all children. Every child entertains the idea of what might happen if their toys came to life (Toy Story). Omri, a little English boy lives out this fantasy when he receives some interesting presents for his birthday.
While I did not consider this a page turner, I enjoyed the story and appreciated the way Banks addressed lying, friendship, and respect. At the same time, it is not a classic I will probably teach in my classroom.
