Although I am not a parent and perhaps not qualified as such to provide an answer, Lalla was a big hit with kids all 'round, on whatever number of legs she had. If a kid did ask me directly, my answer would be: "well, how many legs have you got?" and to the reply of "two" I'd say "well, she still has more legs than you" which created alot of giggles. I did watch friends with kids as they provided answers, but honestly the kids questions were much more based on "can i take her for a walk?" or "can she still play football?". To see a friend's ten year old swim with Lalla in the ocean was a sight I will never forget. Kids are far more accepting than we think.
