Milly's class has won an All-Ireland Climate Action competition which means they are in with a chance of earning a coveted Green Flag award for their school. Best of all is the competition prize: a private tour of Fota Wildlife Park! Sure, what could possibly go wrong?

    Sing a song o' sixpence, a handful of rye, 
Four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a pie; 
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing, 
Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the King? 
So, what does this strange old nursery song mean? Or is it just nonsense?  If you have never heard the legend of Gilligren and the King's pie you will scarcely understand the above verse; so let Frank Baum, the man who wrote the Wizard of OZ, tell you the whole story, and then you will be able to better appreciate the rhyme. 
Gilligren was an orphan, and lived with an uncle and aunt who were very unkind to him. They cuffed him and scolded him upon the slightest provocation, and made his life very miserable indeed. Gilligren never rebelled against this treatment, but bore their cruelty silently and with patience, although often he longed to leave them and seek a home amongst kinder people.

    Santa rang the Christmas bell, and all the elves stopped and stared. What was Santa's big announcement?

"Who will go into the woods and collect from each animal a Christmas gift for Ruby, the new baby reindeer?"

None of the elves wanted to leave the warmth and coziness of Santa's workshop... except one.

"I'll go!" exclaimed Elliot.

Elliot must overcome his fear of dark caves, heights, and small, tight places, but he is determined to collect a gift from each animal and meet Santa at the Reindeer Barn by noon with the gifts.

Elliot consults his map. His first stop is Brutus the Bear's cave. Elliot despises dark caves, but he knows Santa is counting on him. To Elliot's dismay, Brutus refuses to part with his sweet honey. Surely, Roxie the Rabbit, Sammy the Squirrel, and Rosie the Raccoon will be charitable… but what if they're not? What will Elliot do? After all, Santa is counting on him, and Elliot's persistence will not allow him to disappoint Santa.

This heartwarming story will take you on an unforgettable Christmas adventure and remind you that the true spirit of Christmas dwells in a generous heart.
