My son loved Indian in the cupboard, so much so that my Dad made a cupboard for him to keep his "Indian action figures" in. He is now 33 and still has the figures and the cupboard, mostly the wonderful memories of us cuddled together reading your book. Thank lovely lady for all of your wonderful writing. RIP.

Such an amazing author that wrote such an incredible book that so many children loved and enjoyed. Sincere condolences to the Reid, Banks families, so very sorry for your loss. May God be with you all as you go through your time of loss.

"The Indian in the cupboard" was one of the best books I read. I read it as an adult and my imagination was reawakening. Every child should read this book.
