It's Omri's birthday, but all he gets from his best friend, Patrick, is a little plastic Indian toy. Trying to hide his disappointment, Omri puts the Indian in a metal cupboard and locks the door with a mysterious skeleton key that once belonged to his great-grandmother. Little does Omri know that by turning the key, he will transform his ordinary plastic Indian into a real live man from an altogether different time and place! Omri and the tiny warrior called Little Bear could hardly be more different, yet soon the two forge a very special friendship. Will Omri be able to keep Little Bear without anyone finding out and taking his precious Indian from him? Review: Great book. - Great fun book for kids. Review: This is a great book for boys or girls! - This story is as relevant and enjoyable when read today as it was when it was first released. I tried reading it to my son and daughter together but they are seven years apart and she was too young to enjoy it. My son finished reading it himself and he liked it very much. I bought this copy to give to my grandson for Valentine's Day but ended up giving it to him for Easter! Of course, I had to read it first and finally gave it to his mother to give to him. I will be curious to see what he thought of it. He's in seventh grade and may be too old for it but time will tell. I liked reading it again! A great book that teaches a lesson without the reader knowing it! ## Features - By Lynne Reid Banks - For ages 8-12 - "A sky-high fantasy that will enthrall readers"--Publishers Weekly ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #6,343 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #178 in Fantasy for Children #192 in Children's Classics | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 6,574 Reviews | ## Images ![The Indian in the Cupboard - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gnPX+NGOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book. *by K***. on November 30, 2025* Great fun book for kids. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a great book for boys or girls! *by K***N on April 1, 2024* This story is as relevant and enjoyable when read today as it was when it was first released.

It was a favorite classic of mine growing up, and I was happy to share it with them. They loved it and were so sad when the story finally ended (and are begging me to pick up the sequels). Children can easily relate to the main character, a boy named Omri who receives a magic key for an old cupboard that can turn his plastic figures to life. This story is not all fun and games. The "toys" are real people pulled from their lives into Omri's world. The story does not cover the how-and-why; it retains the magic. But the book does touch on weighty issues of responsibility (Omri needs to feed and almost cater to these toys-come-to-life), respect and learning about their culture, resolving a conflict with this best friend over the men, as well as injury and life-and-death. These lives, put into Omri's hands, are not to be taken lightly. I loved the drama and life lessons in this book. On the other hand, there are so many laughs in this book! My boys were imitating Little Bear's stubborn demands as well as Cowboy Boone's crying bouts. They laughed at the school adventure and almost cried when Little Bear was hurt. It was a wonderful read to share together (or for my older to read on his own), and we can't wait to revisit our friends. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Indian in the Cupboard - The Return of the Indian (The Indian in the Cupboard) - The Secret of the Indian (The Indian in the Cupboard) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/1938492-the-indian-in-the-cupboard](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/1938492-the-indian-in-the-cupboard) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
