The Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks
When Omri receives a small toy Indian and a mysterious cupboard, he discovers that the cupboard can bring toys to life. The tiny figure, Little Bear, is not just a toy but a real person with his own thoughts and feelings. As Omri spends more time with him, he begins to understand the responsibility that comes with his discovery, and what starts as an exciting secret soon becomes more complicated.
