mockingthebird 's review for:

The Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks

4.0

It was a really well written book. There were a couple slurs and sayings that wouldn’t really be found in books around now, but it was a really good book nonetheless. I can see why people get mad at the Native American character (called an Indian in the book) being stereotypical, in physical characteristics and language, but he’s portrayed as one of the hardest working and wisest characters in the book. I also really liked the idea of Omri learning that Little Bear is a real person with a real life and not just a play toy.
