The Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks

5.0

I loved this book as a child. A definite must read for families.

UPDATE June 2022: This is the first read-aloud book I read to my twin 6 year old boys. I remember loving it as a child. Sometimes it seemed like they weren't paying attention while I read, but then they would bring up random things during the day and I realized they were paying attention. I loved when they said "mom, can we read more Indian in the Cupboard tonight" and when we cuddled together reading. But my all time favorite part was when they would stop me in the middle of a sentence to tell me what they thought would happen next or, even better, what they would do if they were Omri. We started to watch the movie and Ozzy turned to me and said "mom, the book is SO much better". The best words ever.
