As a child my parents enjoyed reading the Winne the Pooh books.And my favorite stuffed animal was a Kangaroo and baby roo. She was red with a white underside and pouch.As an adult, at the zoo-the first time seeing a live kangaroo:I burst out in front of all the people there - "It is the WRONG color!" I was so disappointed in the natural drab mousy color.I could not believe it!
