Omri gets a cupboard for his birthday and uses a key that brings the toys inside the cupboard alive when he unlocks it. He brings an Indian named Little Bear to life. Omri’s friend, Patrick, finds out about the magical cupboard and brings a cowboy named Boone to life. Little Bear and Boone fight throughout the book until the point when Little Bear hurts Boone with arrow. Omri decides to bring a World War I medic to life to help Boone. However, Omri and Patrick cannot find the key that opens the cupboard so they cannot bring the medic to life to help Boone. After a while the key is found and the medic is brought to life. The medic helps Boone recover from his wound. Little Bear convinces Omri that he needs a bride whose name is Twin Stars. Omri and Patrick think it is best to sent the characters back to their own time period. Omri gives his mom the key so he is not tempted to bring the characters back to life.
What I enjoyed the most about this book is the imagination that is present. I remember reading this book when I was young and loved it because the “toys” in the book came to life. The fantasy comes to life in the book and gives young kids hope that that maybe it could happen in their life, also. I enjoyed this book, as I’m sure children do, because of the adventure and imagination that is present in it.
