Our Thoughts:
Our package from Nickelodeon is here!
YAY! Dora is here! S loves Dora and all her adventures, I know I can already hear here responding to all of Dora's questions. I can't wait to see what she thinks!

Being slightly educational, as far as TV shows go, I don't mind a bit of Dora in our house and encourage the kids to really listen to what is going on. S loves hearing Spanish words and trying them out on her own, she has picked up quite a few new terms that even I didn't know and gravitates towards the Dora games at our local library. This DVD is no different and I am really glad we received it. S is all in to sleepovers right now, so she loved the theme of this DVD before it was even open, she really liked this episode and helping break the magic spells. A week at princess camp also made her day with the knights and castles in this episode.  We have had lots of travel time this summer and this DVD has made its way into the car more than once, and even a big brother may have watched a bit, especially the soccer episode with all his FIFA interest. S's favorite episode is actually the Sparky the horse episode, she loves all animals, but has a specific like for horses and zebras. I know that my kids are watching something that is safe, educational, and fun when they watch Dora and this DVD is no exception, I will gladly let my kiddos watch this one when they ask for it.

Just a Little More Information:
Dora the Explorer, created by Chris Gifford, Valerie Walsh Valdes and Eric Weiner, is a play-along, animated adventure series starring Dora, a seven-year-old Latina heroine whose adventures take place in an imaginative, tropical world filled with jungles, beaches and rainforests.  She explores her world just as preschoolers do every day, and the show is designed to actively engage its audience in an interactive quest using a variety of learning techniques.

In every episode, Dora and Boots invite the audience to participate in an exciting adventure, where each step of their journey consists of a problem or puzzle that Dora and the audience must think their way through in order to solve the next problem.  Dora is proudly bilingual and uses her knowledge of English and Spanish to communicate with her friends, overcome obstacles and reach her goals.  In each episode, Dora teaches Spanish words or phrases to the viewers and then asks them to use it to solve a problem and forge ahead.  Ultimately, Dora and her best friend, Boots, triumph, and the story always ends with a “We Did It!” anthem.
