Rooden is not a popular creature, but we still have some interesting
fables, children stories that attribute to them.  One of it can be seen in the
famous Walt Disney's creation, Mickey and Minnie Mouse

Mickey and the gang celebrating 
the Chinese New Year.


 All these stamps and Miniature Sheet are placed on an A4
presentation page ready for exhibition.



Hundreds of all the presentation pages are housed

The earliest zodiac stamps on the "Year of Rat", 
which were issued in Japan in 1960, featuring a 
traditional papier-mâché toy from one
 of the perfecture.


This set of Rat's Tale stamps was issued in 1996 by
 the Viet Nam Post to celebrate the "Year of the Mouse".  
The stamps featuring "The Rats' Wedding", which 
take place on the third evening of the 
Tết Vietnamese Lunar New Year.





In celebrating the "Year of the Rat", SingPost launched a set
of two stamps together with a $10 Special Collector's Sheet. 
The design is based on the colourful Chinese paper-cutting art.
