"On Christmas we rabbits," says Bunny so shy, 
"Keep watch to see Santa go galloping by." 
This delightful story tells of the Little Bun Rabbit who is befriended by Dorothy, a little girl.  She knows the rhyme and asks the little rabbit about it.

One year Santa stopped to talk with him and ask if he would come to his workshop at the North Pole so he could use him as model to make toy rabbits for little babies.  He agrees and this is his exciting adventure with Santa.  That is why so many stuffed bunny rabbits are made and given at Christmas to be loved by children everywhere.

    "The Lost Cup? You don't want to know about that".  Aidan has been thwarted at every turn, in his efforts to find out where the mysterious lost cup is hidden, or if it even really exists.
A year after the escapades of Gaelic football mad twins, Aoife and Aidan Power, along with their four best friends in Twin Power: Throw In, the Droichead Beag gang are back!
However, all is not rosy. Cracks are starting to show as the gang's strong foundation creaks under the strain of new friendships with players from their rival club Gorman, along with football injuries and tense must win matches.
With all this tension in the background, Aidan becomes fixated on finding the mysterious Lost Cup which was allegedly hidden 100 years ago during the Irish Civil War. Why will no one talk to him about it? Will a school trip to the GAA museum in Croke Park shed any light on this mystery? How is the lost cup linked to rivalries between Droichead Beag GAA and Gorman GAA?
Can Aoife and Aidan solve this mystery, reunite their gang of friends and return to having fun on the football field?
