Peanut (royal blue)

POEM

Peanut the elephant walks on tip-toes
Quietly sneaking wherever she goes
She'll sneak up on you and a hug
You will get
Peanut is a friend you won't soon forget!

Peanut with the royal blue color was the first version of Peanut. Shortly after Peanut shipped for retail sale, Ty Warner changed Peanut's dark blue fabric to a light blue color because he believed the light blue fabric would appeal more to children.
