It was great. So nice to read a fun interesting book after the last few we have dragged ourselves through. Everyone begged for the story and sat still and listened which is not always the case. There was no great message here. I guess you could say that treating each other right no matter how different would be the main lesson. But mostly this was a story that illustrated the magic of childhood. Kids live in a world where things like this seem possible. It is sad to see children grow out of this sense of wonder and possibility. It was a fun story that I am glad to finally read. It was published after I was all grown up alas so I had to wait to read it to my sons. One caveat. What was up with the names of the boys? Omri? Gillon? Adiel? Those are some everyday type names. A birthday present of a plastic Indian, a cupboard, and a little key brings adventure to a 9-year-old boy. It all started with a birthday present 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 live. And then even stranger things began to happen - wonderful, secret, dangerous ... magical things. The boys loved this book sooo much! They are begging me to get the sequel!
… The book objectifies American Indians and is replete with stereotypical attitudes. Little Bear, the Indian, speaks "Hollywood Indian," for example, "`You touch, I kill,' the Indian growled ferociously." Although this book is popular with children and educators, its offensive treatment of American Indians makes for inappropriate reading.
