When Jack in the Box moves to town, everything is new and exciting for the little orange tabby. He loves to explore and play, but the novelty soon wears off and he starts to feel left out. He longs for the days when everything was new and exciting, but he knows that life is always moving forward. One day, Jack finds a shiny new toy in the garbage and decides to take it home for himself. He plays with it all day, never bothering to share it with anyone else. When he finally tires of it, he puts it in the garbage again. Just as he's about to throw it away, he has a sudden realization. Maybe if he and his friends can find enough of these new toys, they can keep everyone entertained forever.

Jack in the Box is a story about how even the simplest things can bring joy to our lives.; 8vo; 273 pages; Price? ? ?
