You injected laughs and sweetness into "The Ed Sullivan Show" with your little creation with a big heart, Topo Gigio.
Topo's charming exchanges with "Eddie" were the highlight of his "really big show", to the point that your wee, Italian mouse became a pop-cultural sensation.
My parents bought me a Topo toy a result, which I played with and adored to no end. Ah, what winsome memories!
For making my childhood ever-so-brighter, Ms. Perego, I give you great thanks. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, you and Topo will live on in my heart, as well in the collective consciousness of a baby-booming generation of grateful fans.
