The Indian and the Cupboard (Bigger, boy interest storytime)

We own the movie and watched it this winter after listening to the book on audio tape. The movie is okay. It is slightly different from the book.

I agree with you, that the DITHOR books are simply too hard to pass up!

I haven't read the book since I was a kid so I can't comment on that. A friend of ours just dropped off a box of movies for us that her children no longer watch (they are older) and The Indian in the Cupboard was one of the movies. Part way through I had the children take it out and we now have it in our toss pile. The little boy in the movie uses a couple of mild cuss words and that isn't ok with us.

Just thought I would give a heads up if anyone was interested in that tid-bit about the movie.

My son LOVED the book when we read it this year! I enjoyed it too! The book is WAY better than the movie. You could watch the movie after you read it and talk about how it's different.
