The Tiniest Heroes

Najmenší hrdinovia

Written and designed by Koloman Leššo, this bedtime stories series revolves
around a girl named Terezka who receives a construction kit for Christmas
and decides to put together two cranky puppets that go by the names of
Sticksy and Ballsy. She loves to play with them and they in return take care
of her good humour, health, cleanliness, and even her education and the
environment. Every time Terezka finds herself in a tight spot, the puppets
get down to business and easily solve all problems.
