Advent is upon us, and we\u2019ve been celebrating over at Sidekick Books<\/a><\/b>!<\/p>

ii) Playable interactive poems<\/i><\/b>, including Meat & Mustard<\/b><\/a>, two hidden word poems by Jon Stone, Shag or Cormorant?<\/a><\/b>, in which you must play to find out which bird you will become, Mothra<\/a><\/b>, a concrete poem ode to a beloved Godzilla adversary, and In Search of Lost Species<\/a><\/b>, in which the reader seeks the creatures from Harry Man and Sophie Gainsley\u2019s collection, Finders Keepers<\/a><\/i> – which one will you uncover?<\/p>

\"\"\/<\/figure>
