The smallest bedtime story Maileg sells. A baby mouse with a terracotta body in a sage green suit dotted with cream, a knitted bow at the neck, tucked under a mustard and cream flowered knit blanket. The matchbox lid is printed Paraffin Matches and Baby Jumbo Matches, Since 1998, Limited Edition, around a small gray elephant. The sleeve pulls out to make the bed and pushes back in to close, and the whole box fits in one hand.
The face is worked on both sides. One side carries a round open eye and the mouse is awake; the other carries a closed eye stitched in a curve and the mouse is asleep. A child decides which, turns the mouse over, and the story starts again. He is a Baby mouse in Maileg's family sizing, 3.94 in tall, so everything made for a baby mouse fits him. Cotton and card, with polyester inside.
Maileg sells him as Sleepy wakey baby mouse in matchbox - Blue, item number 17-5001-00, made in China. Maileg calls this colorway Blue; the suit itself reads a soft sage green with cream dots. The Maileg grading on him is 3 and over, which puts him out of reach of a child under 3.
For a pair of baby mice in one box, see the Baby Twin Mice in Matchbox, Checker, and for one dressed for a celebration, the Baby Mouse in Gown, Powder. Maileg sizes its mice by family role rather than by measurement, and says each one is handmade so heights vary a little, which makes the size name the thing that decides the fit.
