Publisher's Summary

It all started with a birthday present that Omri didn't want: a small plastic Indian that was no use to him at all. But an old wooden cupboard and a special key brought his unusual toy to life, and strange and wonderful things began to happen.

As Omri struggles to balance his real life in England with the characters of the Wild West of 18th century America, his incredible adventures are a fantasy beyond his wildest imagination.

Great story! My kids and I really enjoyed it!

The story was funny and engaging. Our imaginations went wild with all of Omri's adventures with a live mini human! I remember reading this book when I was a kid, so it was really fun to hear this audiobook with my kids. We all really enjoyed it!

type of file

You have to watch what type of file this is. When you purchase it like I have I should be able to open it or the company should send it in multiple ways as the computers I am working on cannot open the file and cannot download the program to convert the file over. Very frustrating!!!!!!
