Mundo de juguete (English: Toy World) is a Mexican telenovela produced by Televisa. It is a remake of the 1973 Argentine telenovela Papá corazón. It premiered on November 4, 1974, on Canal de las Estrellas and ended on February 25, 1977.^[1]

This telenovela holds the record for having the second longest run ever for a Latin American telenovela, with a total of 605 half hour episodes (1974–1977). Most telenovelas run for an average of six to eight months; the shortest ones run about four months, and the longest up to a year. Televisa remade the telenovela in 2000, and called it "Carita de ángel".

Plot[edit]

Cristina is Mariano's daughter, a widower. She attends a Catholic school and creates a world of her own ("mundo de juguete") in the school garden. At school she meets "Nana Tomasina", an old woman who lives behind the boarding school where Cristina attends. She takes the lonely girl in and advises her. Cristina succeeds in making her father marry Rosario who was a novice at the convent/boarding school so that she can have a new mother.
