About this ebook
Adventure abounds when a toy comes to life in this classic novel!
It's Omri's birthday, but all he gets from his best friend, Patrick, is a little plastic warrior figure. Trying to hide his disappointment, Omri puts his present in a metal cupboard and locks the door with a mysterious skeleton key that once belonged to his great-grandmother. Little does Omri know that by turning the key, he will transform his ordinary plastic toy into a real live man from an altogether different time and place! Omri and the tiny warrior called Little Bear could hardly be more different, yet soon the two forge a very special friendship. Will Omri be able to keep Little Bear without anyone finding out and taking his new friend away?

This book was great yet it took a while for it to get my attention. It also might not be great for young kids because of all the different time periods. The reason I like it is because it was amazingly creative and I could tell the author put a lot of work into it. If you like back to the future and you like playing with your toys then read it.

This book took me way back!! When my teacher read this to our class, it was if I were in the story. Lol, all the adventure and the things they went on together and no one was supposed to know. Such a wonderful book.

The times were slower...we had time to daydream and soak up all that life had to offer. Before there was T.V.,we had our imaginations. For most of us, that was all we needed. I love this book...and I still have my copy from 15+years ago.
