Topsy
Why is Topsy red?
Our clever little fox Topsy used to be turquoise, but now he鈥檚 red. Why? We asked some kids what they thought.
For Isadora, the answer was obvious: 鈥淭opsy鈥檚 got sunburn!鈥 You end up red, whether you like it or not. Lia had a similar idea: 鈥淢aybe Topsy did something wrong and he鈥檚 embarrassed. So he鈥檚 blushing.鈥 Jamie and Marco take a very different view. They think a silver robot painted Topsy: 鈥淗e used a felt-tip pen.鈥 Or perhaps a wicked witch cast a spell on him? Joya had a theory along those lines, which also involved a big thunderstorm.
鈥淥ut of the mouth of babes,鈥 as the saying goes. We love the explanations the children came up with and the tremendous level of imagination they reveal.
