Mikkamakka Toy Library is not a standard baby-sitter or play house, but an excellent empire of toys for the families and their children. Mikkamakka, or according to his other name, Micky Cat, is a friendly and free wanderer cat from Squared Round Forest, and is awaiting the children and the families who are fond of games and adventures. We would like the Toy Library to be a meeting point: so that the adults and the children will be able to pay more attention to each other. And to play together a lot more.
