Little Jack Horner

ECLIPSE Image Number 01280003

An Elf in the Corner Is Jack a boy at all?

An Elusive Jack Has he been sent to the corner, or is he hiding there?

The Hearth of the Matter Is Jack just a good boy, innocently sitting where it’s warm?

Cheeky, Yet Winsome Jack Who could stay angry with this tousle-haired little angel?

Sneaky Jack Discovered! Nefarious Jack and the girl who blows his cover

A Kinder, Gentler Jack The non-threatening multicultural representation
