A review by beardedbarista
The Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks

4.0

Great book to read with my daughter. A bit outdated on some cultural appropriation. Explaining to her that we dont call indigenous people Indians anymore and for good reasons. Also dealing with some of the slurs in the book by Boone was a good exercise in teaching race and ethnicity to her. The book had some other problematic things. But overall it was pretty wholesome. THE MOVIE fixed a lot of these problems. Even the choice of little bear to not make a wife was really great in the movie. Unlike most evaluation the movie was better than the book.
