USA – 2025 Goodnight Moon – The stamp features artwork inspired by Clement Hurd’s illustrations from the classic children’s book Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. (Look at that tiny mouse!)

Interesting and very different tales. I had never heard about the first. And I learned about “Goodnight Moon” only recently, thanks to the stamps 🙂

Wallace and Gromit are a favourite of mine! I really like the Chinese stamps – there is such a light touch to the art.

Legend of the Condor Heroes sounds interesting. I don’t recall Goodnight Moon being one my kids were interested in. I do like that little mouse!

When all is quiet a mouse comes out, cute. The Wallace and Gromit issue is one of my favourite Christmas sets
