Hawaiian Rainforest, Children's Book Illustration


In this cover the sender used one of the stamps from the Favourite Children's Books Illustrations series issued on January 10, 2006 as well as a couple from the Hawaiian Rainforest series (September 1, 2010).


2006 USA Picture Book Animals series
The Children's Book Illustration stamps had a face value of 39c and showed different picture book animals such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Fox in Socks, Wild Thing, Olivia etc.

If I had seen this issue in its entirety before today I would have ordered a set myself as they not only look really cute and colourful but also all because these are books that I've read when I was young.

For those who collect fauna and flora stamps, the Hawaiian Rainforest pane from the Nature of America series is a must have. As with previous issues, these focus on the complexity of plants and animals in the United States and consists of 10 different stamps with a face value of 44c each. USPS also issued pre-stamped cards featuring the beautiful art seen on the stamp pane.
