Description

Little Jack Rabbit is in the spirit of the season, polishing door knobs and humming carols while his wise friend Professor Crow reads a festive poem about sharing with those in need. Inspired, Jack gathers his favorite toys, packs them into a little box, and sets off toward the village to bring a Christmas surprise to a ragged rabbit child who has never known such cheer.

On his way, his mother, Lady Love, warns him to watch out for the notorious Mr. Wicked Wolf, handing him a sweet treat for the journey. Jack arrives at a modest cottage, knocks timidly, and offers the treasured gifts to the rabbit’s mother, hoping to brighten the holiday for the little one. As he hurries back home, a ringing telephone delivers a call from Uncle John Hare, who promises a special present from the town’s Three‑in‑One‑Cent Store, adding another layer of anticipation to Jack’s bustling Christmas Eve.
